    Pangolin Performance questions

    I am interested in getting a Pangolin Perfomance laptop. I am curious as to how gaming is on the machine. I play Quake, UT, WoW (via Cedega).

    I will probably be keeping Ubuntu on it, but are there any inherent issues if I do end up making the move to Fedora (my normal distro of choice)?

    Also what is the battery life on average for the unit? Although I am aiming at desktop replacement, there may be times at which I feel like using it without tethering myself to an AC outlet and I do not have my eeePC handy.

    Thanks much!
    Appreciate a dedicated Linux computer vendor being there

    I'll leave this one to the gamers out there.

    Code:

    We only test with and support Ubuntu. But I know we have customers out there using Fedora. 76ers? Any word on this?

    The Pangolin only has one battery option - the 6-cell.

    It lasts approximately 1.5 - 2 hours. Battery life is largely dependent on usage. We provide a tutorial for maximizing battery life. Some customers have reported exceeding 2 hours by implementing the steps in the tutorial.
    To err is human, to forgive is very ... dog-like.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I would love to know about the Fedora and games questions.

    So gamers ... any feedback? I presume that the card is at least as powerful if not more so, than a Radeon 2600HD, right?
