Hi All!
Anybody out there play with the Samsung Chromebook with ChrUbuntu
or another good ARM distro? Having a 2.5 lb laptop that only costs $250
and runs fairly quickly sounds really interesting. There's a lot of info
about installing and tweaking, but very little about actual _usability_
as far as true speed, any problems with apps that have to be specially
baked and other details. The model would likely be the SAMSUNG
XE303C12-A01US .
I currently use a simple Corei3 laptop that is cheap but
surprisingly quick. Having a laptop that is nearly disposable is a good
thing, since so many have lost their laptops to theft/confiscation by
the TSA, overly playful pooches and all the other ways that laptops can
quickly leave the mortal realm. A cheap ARM notebook with good speed
and battery life holds lots of appeal...
Thanks,
-Jeff Mings
