    Why do you have princess fairyland Barbari on your lap hmmm :|

    that’s a cool little computer. What’ the base price/specs. and what linux do you use to install.. I have a little hp laptop I want to err.. I mean turn into a linux box.

    @Mr95bartmanisback
    A netbook is only $350 and you can do all this and play some small performance games.

  5. KixZick says:

    was thinking you actually only get 1 usb for you need the other 2 for usb keyboards and mouse and the other is for the flash drive to boot it up

    did you screw the doll?

  7. Mr95bartmanisback says:

    If you can get a standard game console for around $200, why is this double the price for almost nothing? You can just get a ps3 and install Linux and it will work fine, and this peice of crap dosen’t even have a hard drive.

    Good review Sean. Bad device! Ew. As much as I like Xubuntu,this is useless fotr that money.
    Actually pay more when adding extras.

    Good review, but this company must be sniffing some kind of (are they out of there minds sauce)(hehe).This thing is way to expensive. You can purchase a full laptop or a netbook or a pretty fast desktop for that amount of money. This kinda reminds me of the suckers buying the over priced kindle.I laughed at the price of the kindle & as I opened my ext drive connected to my laptop with a catalog of ebooks enormous with no locks & drm crap like the ones on the kindle ebooks.Companies are greedy.

    computers like this are the future of computing

    hard disk drives are going to be a thing of the past soon because they cannot offer a slim enough profile and low power consumption like a solid state drive can

    not to mention solid state drive computers dont need cooling fans either because they have no moving parts to generate heat.

    400$ is a bit much for this though considering all it is is a small mother board lol

    the no power switch issue doesn’t effect me in the UK because we have switches on our wall outlets

  12. My1name1is1Emor says:

    I don’t why I said it looked like KDE… Sorry ’bout that :P .
    Definitely looks like XFCE.
    EMZ=]

  13. Amebixfan says:

    protip: it uses xfce, looks like its based off xubuntu

  14. KingCorvette says:

    $400 for that? Way too steep without a hdd or a monitor. Sorry, but not cool. Good review, though.

  15. Dimension13XYZZY says:

    omg, it’s twice as big as a Fit-PC, and it doesn’t even have a HDD/SSD??

    (The Fit-PC is half the size, and it includes a sata hdd.)

  16. AmericanGatoona says:

    It would be cool to use that as a apache server to access simple txt files for linux. Imagine teamspeak hosting on it too, and I can leave it on for days without having to worry about the electric bill!

  17. jcng5 says:

    can it be used to boot up ubuntu?

  18. rofthorax says:

    250 euros for this heap of crap?

    I would say the same, 120-150 dollars..
    Remember, I can get a energy efficient mini-laptop for 300 dollars, with a screen, touch pad, 512MB ram, 8 GB of internal flash. I still need a screen with this and a keyboard, in the end the mini-laptop is better.

    —–
    1 x (Linutop1 + USB Key 1 GB Linutop V1.4) 1 x (Linutop1 + USB Key 1 GB Linutop V1.4)

    - Storage: 1GB USB Key external
    - OS + software
    - Weight : 280 gr
    - Power : 5W

  19. My1name1is1Emor says:

    Same, though, I think it uses KDE… not sure though, maybe XFCE. Don’t think it’s GNOME.
    EMZ=P

  20. insanity54 says:

    Looks like xubuntu? No, I think it IS xubuntu. It has the xubuntu logo…

  21. freefonefriday says:

    no computers are MADE in the usa…many are assembled there but if you open up any American assembled pc it will contain chinease made parts,

  22. freefonefriday says:

    they’ve done everything you said!! lol XD
    they’ve put in an internal flash drive,reduced the price by $120 and even put in a power button….have you tried the new one if so do you recommend it?

    life isnt fair barbie

  24. WayneMattingly says:

    can you use any linux distro designed for pen drives? like wolvix, gentoo or maybe gobuntu?

  25. BSODslayer says:
