For anyone wondering why it's named the Snares, that's actually a species of
penguin.
This looks AWESOME. Sometimes I feel I can't wait until my HP notebook
breaks so I can buy a GOOD notebook from ThinkPenguin. ;-)
That is a beautiful computer; you have successfully won me over back to
ThinkPenguin. The prices are now in competition with the Gazelle
Professional: with about the same specs the Snare costs $1296 and the Gazelle
costs $1171. At a difference of $125, I think freedom-friendliness is worth
It really depends on the configuration how competitive the prices are to
other similar systems. At the low end the prices should be pretty completive.
To some extent the prices are offset by higher margins on the higher spec'd
systems. Many of our competitors don't offer less pricey
Oh my goodness... I feel the same way O_O
:-)
I feel the same way, and mine's an HP too!

Chris, is possible to sell free software friendly laptop with 32GB of RAM
like Alienware? And desktop with 64GB of RAM?
I'm curious which scenario needs so much ram, especially on trisquel.
I can't imagine what 32 GB of RAM could be used for.
My Mac mini is plenty fast with 2 GB of RAM. (That's all it can address,
sadly.)
What's the year? DDR, DDR2 or DDR3? With DDR2 you can put 4GB probably. Apple
lie. Many Macbooks support 16GB of RAM but Apple say it support only 8GB.
Here is the model: http://lowendmac.com/2006/mac-mini-early-2006/
I bought it used with 2 GB of RAM, and I upgraded the processor to a 2 GHz
Core 2 Duo.
The Mac mini has 2 RAM slots, the first one had a 2 GB RAM stick in it, so I
tried putting a 512 MB stick in the other slot. When I
Free software friendly laptops with the standard two slots are currently
limited to 16GB of ram. This may increase to 32GB if they release 16GB chips.
The desktops can support at least 32GB in two slots. 64GB may be possible
where there are four slots.
Thank you! :-)
Much obliged Chris, cheers!
There is a decent chance we will have out a 14 lightweight ultrabook model
by the end of the year.
Would I be correct in saying it could be something very similar to this?

That's strange, because I'm sure it uses DDR2; it has one 2 GB RAM stick. I
may have linked to the wrong model.

is haphazard at this point. We are waiting for Intel's finalization
of some of the Haswell lineup.
Sounds interesting,
You can try to put another 2GB RAM or search about this.
Probably your Mac Mini support 4GB of RAM.[0]
Some Macbooks and Mac Minis up to 8GB support 16GB. [1]

I wish Christ will accept a layaway payment plan for those family members
living on tight budget, such as me.

That looks nice.
Is it compatible with coreboot?
Also, use libre.thinkpenguin.com to order, and 25% of the profit goes to
Trisquel.

According to the coreboot wiki only a few chromebooks and thinkpads are
compatible. So I highly doubt it.
Anyway, I think you don't want to pay 1000 $ and having the risk of an broken
device when flashing.

Looks like a good computer; 7 hr battery, fast processor, and 1080 screen.
I like removing the battery when I have an outlet. It's nice that the
battery is in the centre-back and not on a corner, so that the laptop sits
firm even without the battery.
