Asus Budget Ultraportable Notebook Sold Sans OS

Posted by timothy on Wednesday May 19, 2010 @08:32AM from the utterly-completely-impossible dept.

EconolineCrush writes "Tired of paying the Windows tax on notebooks? Asus's Eee PC 1201T budget ultraportable comes without a traditional operating system and sells for only $380. The 12-inch system has promising specifications, sporting an Athlon Neo processor, Radeon HD 3200 graphics, Bluetooth, and 802.11n Wi-Fi. It weighs just 3.2lbs with a 6-cell battery and can even handle light gaming duties. However, battery life in Ubuntu is considerably shorter than it is under Windows. Are there any better options for would-be laptop Linux users?"

How is that OS different than a "traditional" operating system?

Yes, if you can track down the ACPI drivers for the fans.
She's gone from suck to blow.
