Hi folks, Fresh review about ECS Desknote laptops from itworld. There's no mention about linux as pre-installed OS. I may get a chance to visit a (Taiwan) notebook retailer/distributor and let you guys know for those interested.
http://www.itworld.com/Comp/1181/020827desknote/ <--snip--> By using desktop versions of chips like the Pentium 4 and other components, Elitegroup is able to match the specs of high-end notebooks like the C840 at a steep discount: a 2GHz Pentium 4-based Desknote costs around $1,200, or less, depending on the exact configuration. You can even get a Desknote running the 2.8GHz Pentium 4 if you want an added boost in performance. With specs and prices like that, it's no wonder that users in Asia are starting to warm to the Desknote. During the first half of this year, Desknote sales in Asia, excluding Japan, reached 43,000 units, with sales primarily in China, the Philippines and Taiwan, according to Kitty Fok, research director at IDC Asia-Pacific. They're even popping up for sale in more developed Asian markets, like technologically advanced Singapore. <--snip--> _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
