Packard Bell Dot M/A initial review by Netbookwereld.be

[romeogal]

@jayleesan - you installed Unbuntu 9.10 om Packard Bell Dot M/A, you think 10.10 will run ok? I have one with vista home and want to change to Unbuntu Netbook version, just not sure if it will work. Thanks

[jayleesan]

I'm using this netbook for over a year now, upgraded with an SSD and running Ubuntu 9.10 on it. Younger versions of Ubuntu have issues with the display driver (it's a shame). I carry it around in my handbag for some mobile word-processing and image editing. I love my netbook with it's 1360x768 LED screen!

A big con. IMHO is the extended battery.

I'm wondering if there's a new battery model available wich is smaler, without compromizing the capacity.

Can this notebook play HD video okay on youtube for example ?

You showed us that it has a Windows key and then explained it wouldn't run Linux. My girlfriend's computer has the same key and I am using Linux right now. Did you try running Linux on it?

YES it will, i have bought this peace of brilliance i denmark and it runs beautifully. it is just VERY hard to find a working 64-bit driver but the 32 bit w7 runs super.

yes you just have to by a ssd drive that uses sata.

Parace ser um netbook bastante personalizavel e bom para efectuar upgrades :) i like it.

Será que dá para instalar disco SSD?

Can we change de HDD to an SSD ?
