Any thoughts?
Other than the annoying 1024 x 576 resolution, it looks like the perfect netbook for me. Nice rubberized durable shell, ruggedized to survive K-12 educational use, 6 cell battery available, upgradable to 2 GB RAM, HD options up to 250 gb and a matte screen and not an inch of scratch prone glossy plastic anywhere on it.
Ships with Ubuntu 8.10
It's a little pricey for the specfications but I love that it seems to be built to last, unlike most of the cheaper netbooks out there.
Curious about what you all think of it, I'm close to pulling the trigger on this thing. How is Dell as far as Linux support goes? Reasonable to expect I could update Ubuntu without too much trouble?
