Thinkpad X300 Specs Leaked
Kyokushi writes "Gizmodo reports that some specifications of a new ultralight Lenovo X300 have been leaked. 'It appears that Lenovo have themselves a new ultralight X300 series Thinkpad — and outside of the price and release date, we have all of the specs that you need to know. At a glance, some of the major features include: a 13.3-inch LED backlit 1440X900 screen, an ultralight 2.5 pound form factor, and Intel Merom Santa Rosa Dual Core CPU (2.0 Ghz / 880 Mhz ), a 64 GB SSD, up to 4GB of DDR2 PC2-5300 memory, and 4 hours of battery life.' If this is true, then Lenovo looks to have some heavy competition for the Macbook Air." Update: 01/20 22:55 GMT by S : Corrected Gizmondo->Gizmodo.
Not the fault of the Hardware manufacture who makes these windows systems. It is the fault of the Linux Distributions for not keeping up on the drivers. When a company does give a closed source driver the OSS Community cries foul. So other then release an open source driver they release none. If the Linux community was more open to closed source drivers there may be a bunch of drivers for Linux. But they made it so company cannot make closed source drivers. And for a lot of hardware companies that is an important issue because with the driver source people can make competing compatible products. Which they don't want.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
That would be the same Museum of Modern Art that proudly displays cans of shit in its collection? Gee, I'm not sure that says much. This is modern art you're talking about, which pretty much represents the purposeful antithesis of pleasing aesthetics (to the point that I'd say it supports the GP's position; ugly is ugly).
