[niky7...@alice.it]

Ciao Andrea,

Mi scuso con te e con tutti gli altri per non essere riuscito a venire ieri 
sera.
Se ne hai tempo e voglia, tu o qualcun'altro, si potrebbe fare un breve 
riassunto di quanto discusso e su eventuali aggiornamenti.

Grazie
Nicola Cambareri

*Subject:* Here Is An elementary OS Powered Linux Laptop BUT…



Year of the Linux desktop might not have arrived, but the year of Linux
laptop is certainly here.

Only a few weeks back we saw a dedicated laptop specially tweaked for KDE
Neon . Today we have got a new laptop
series running elementary OS by default.

elementary OS is a Linux distribution mostly focused on the design element.
This aesthetic OS is often considered the best Linux distribution that
looks like MacOS .

To cash on the beauty of elementary OS, a new, rather unknown company has
revealed a Chromebook like laptop series: Litebook. It is basically a 14″
laptop running on elemnetary OS. The hardware configuration is in the range
of entry level Chromebooks and so is the price tag ($249).
Litebook specification

   - Litebook boasts of the following configuration:
   - 14.1-inch Full HD (1920×1080)
   - Intel Quad-Core processor running at 1.6 GHz
   - Graphics: Intel HD 400
   - 4GB LPDDR3 RAM
   - 512GB HDD (can be upgraded to SSD for additional price)
   - 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.0
   - 2 USB 3.0 ports
   - 1 HDMI port
   - 1 Ethernet port
   - MicroSD card reader
   - 720px webcam
   - 1.3 KG weight
   - 9 hours battery claimed
   - Price starts from $249, shipping extra

Litebook also claims to have modified elementary OS to make it more
compatible with Litebook hardware. It also claims that “come without
performance hogging bloatware” and at the same time Skype, Spotify and
bunch of other software are installed by default.

Read this before you buy Litebook

Usually, I am generous with new small companies trying to build a business
around Linux and Open Source. I even covered Novatio gaming console that
has claimed to run Windows games on Linux
.

But there are way too many red flags with Litebook here that I just cannot
ignore it and encourage you to buy it.
A company has no name or address!

First thing, there is simply no mention of the company and its people. The
best you know is that it is called Alpha and perhaps based in Florida
(guessing from its terms of service
). There is no office address, no
telephone number etc. At least, I couldn’t find it.

There is no whois data available for the domain. The so-called company
exists only through a website. There is no social media presence (not that
it brings trust) except a Reddit account
.
Using ‘fake’ images of the product

What is even worse that the images shared on the website are actually stock
images lifted from the internet and the screenshot of elementary OS has
been photoshopped on it. As a Reddit user noticed 
it:

[image: Litebook is a scam]

This image is taken from this website
. What is disturbing is
that the Litebook deliberately ignored this question in the Reddit thread

.
It is a bulk order of cheap laptop from Chinese retail Alibaba

[image: Litebook bulk order from China]

As a lover of detective fiction, I put my little gray cells to use and
found something interesting on Alibaba . Alibaba
is an online portal from where you can bulk order inexpensive stuff from
China.

What I found here is that it is a product supplied in bulk from BBEN
. The website of Litebook even shares the same
images that are displayed on Alibaba

.

Windows laptop of same configuration available for $150 on Alibaba for
orders above 300 units.

So basically it is a bulk purchase from China and then a custom build of
elementary OS is installed on it. It’s not illegitimate at all but then it
does raise questions about why a legitimate business is not using real
pictures, leave aside videos.
elementary is not associated with Litebook

Now, the only reason why you might buy Litebook is for your love of
elementary OS. You may think that elementary OS might be associated with it
and get some part of the sales generated by Litebook.

Well, Litebook says that it will give $2-3 per sale to elementary OS’ bug
