VIA Introduces A New Laptop Motherboard
arrasmith writes "It looks like there is going to be an upgrade to that non-expensive $800 Linux laptop. VIA just came out with a new laptop motherboard based on the faster Nehemiah core for the C3. You can get all the specs at the Antaur homepage. If they stay near the $800 cost I can see this one selling pretty well. And they would have a great mobile media system if they added a hardware DivX decoder on top of the hardware DVD decoder. :) And now that the Linux drivers are starting to mature and the sources are finally starting to come out, by the time this is released to the U.S. market it should be a great little Linux laptop."

Does it run linux?
If you thought linux on the desktop was bad, then come and laugh at this! Linux has poor support out of the box for dual pointers (read: touchpad and usb mouse), poor support for ACPI, APM, cardbus and you guessed it, graphics cards. no tux racer on my rage mobillity then.
Out of all the distros I tried, knoppix was the only one that came even close, but because its baased on debian (and we all know full well the limitations of debian), it still sucked.

And how much does it weight? Even the current Via is under 3 pounds. I would much rather go with a light and thin (just look at the pictures) sub-notebook with a slightly underpowered processor (and, mind you, Via has improved a lot in performance) that fits into my backpack, rather than a 7-pound lumbering monster that deep-fries your lap. And Celeron is a sucky processor, too.
Are you stupid? A markup of $75 on a $500 item won't even cover overhead.
I hate to break it to you, but doing business is expensive. $3000 laptops cost maybe $1500 to make. That $1500 profit is almost completely eaten by taxes and overhead.
