When the delivery guy brought me my very own Gluglug X60 I was very excited. The first completely free computer! And it was mine! It works almost flawless although it's more than a decade old. The downside was heating. Lots of it. And finally the battery was at about 2 hours. With the latest updates in Libreboot (the free BIOS replacement) it has went up to 4 hours for medium workload. And for reading ebooks with a dimmed screen, disabled networking, removed removable media and all other apps closed I get 6 and a half hours.

Also, the initial power consumption was caused by the unresponsive backlight and the need to stop the CPU to go into sleep. Both problems are solved.

Cheers
