3G

Hi Chaps,

The latest Ubuntu works a treat with every 3G dongle I've tried, even the Split-Mode ones. I was merely saying that SplashTop didn't support it - which is a big down side.

As far as the lack of nipple - remember that this is not a ThinkPad branded laptop - it's a Lenovo :) Personally, I love the nipples and would have liked to have seen one!

@AC No 3G

It's just that splashtop doesn't have support for 3G dongles built in. Most dongles work fine under linux, but depending on the dongle and the distro you might need to get the helper app from here:

good review - great netbook

i have owned one of these for about four months now.

i bought it because it was the smallest physical shall that contained a 10" screen, as this is what matters to me in a netbook above all else; diminutive size.

i can recommend it to all except netbook gamers who might find the vertical screen resolution of 576 pixels an impediment.

operation flashpoint from GoG works great tho.

Value

"At £249, it's competitively priced and worthy of consideration. If you need extra battery life, consider the similarly specced Samsung NC10, with double the battery life, for only £50 more."

£50 represents an increase of over 20%... on the other hand, I guess it's the cost of a good 3 course meal with wine...
