    Smile Sony Vaio Netbook VPCYB15AG

    I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 variant LinuxMint 11 on my new sony vaio VPCYB15AG. Its got a AMD APU unit with a 12" screen.
    I prefer Linux mint 11 because i dont like Unity or Gnome 2 bar look on desktop and like Mint's spin on it.
    review:
    Std stuff like mouse pad, keyboard, speakers, display, camera, wi-fi, LAN etc worked out of the box. All functions buttons like brightness, volume, Home, End, Page Up/down etc seem to be working fine.
    [update] SD card reader, VGA also working fine.
    I have not yet found anything that does not work actually, although its been only 2 days.
    I am welcome to any queries from potential buyers of this netbook.

    Color, starting asking price, country of origin?

    Does it still have the Windows License attached or was that removed?

    sorry, fr late reply. its pinkish red, bought in India for Rs 25000, roughly equal to US$ 550. After 4 weeks of use, find it really no problem at all.
    It had windows 7 starter preinstalled, but it ran pathetically slow. win7 is really not for low spec machines, IMO

    Update: I updated the Sony Vaio Netbook VPCYB15AG to Ubuntu 12.10 and everything just works fine. I am taking a liking to the unity interface as well. I was a sceptic before but it looks and works better I think.
