ECS T800 Netbook Hands on

[knet99]

Use the USB port to charge, not its own propetiary charger! Can even use another notebook/netbook to charge it!!!

Add a small USB socket as, to use any USB cable we find. Add boot option to let smartbook act as an external USB disk when connected to another computer with USB, nice if operating system has crashed to get to your data. Mac portables had that in the old days.

I want one of those small things! And I don't want to worry about cables and chargers..... :)

PRICE?????!??!?!?!

[minipcpro]

sub $500

[mukatuna]

It would have to be less than half the price of the Sony P.

[scareface999]

is that a display or a mirror?! lol

anyway looks good, price is ok (the vaio isn't)

[majdijr]

i still i cant see what Android on a netbook would bring to the table !!! why not windows xp or unbuntu or any other linux distribution !!!

Pay attention to the video. It's a Texas Instruments ARM CPU.

Windows is only compiled for x86 and _64. Windows and normal Ubuntu are incompatible with this processor.

[mangabuddy]

There is an Ubuntu version for ARM. I don't get the Android craze, either.

[mukatuna]

Ubuntu and many other distros have been compiled for ARM. That's the great thing about FOSS.

Obviously Windows is stuck with i386/i686. We can't do a lot about that.

[mukatuna]

It wouldn't be able to run Windows, it's got an ARM processor. There are plenty of Linux distros which have been compiled for ARM, and should work great on the ECS.

Hi, camera lady...

Holy Hell I wonder how sensative that trackpad is if that is indeed a trackpad. Looks like 1 finger barely.

[M4xFr4gg]

nice, but yes too glossy and where is the trackpoint? i mean such a touchpad for the mouse is really pointless

[jcng5]

too glossy
