Excellent hardware!
- Pros: Excellent cost to performance ratio, all hardware supported by Linux and easy to work with, IMHO. CPU does frequency scaling depending on the workload, hibernate works, LCD is bright and crisp, WIFI works great, all without any fuss under Xubuntu 8.04. Kick the Windows habit with this laptop! Hats off to NewEgg for prompt shipping!
- Cons: The Linux video drivers from VIA do not work well, I am using the OpenChrome drivers for video support under Linux. Everex website isn't good for finding information, and there appears to be little support from the manufacturer. The CPU fan wants to run non-stop (low speed), but that might be fixed with a setting in software somewhere. Not horribly loud, but not silent either.
- Other Thoughts: I didn't care for gOS, so I loaded Ubuntu 8.04, and then eventually Xubuntu 8.04. Xubuntu has less overhead (no Gnome desktop) than Ubuntu, so it really makes the laptop feel much quicker. Personally, I don't think you will find a better laptop for Linux at the price I paid at NewEgg. The LCD display, processor, hard drive and DVD/CD-RW drives make this model very hard to beat. I will be adding another 512MB of RAM and maybe a larger battery to this laptop, and it will be absolutely perfect for me!
Awesome
- Pros: You can't beat this machine for the price. Works fine out of the box. The preload is impressive - very 'mac' like. The screen is big and bright. This machine is perfect for somebody that just needs to get on the net.
- Cons: None.
va1500v
- Pros: this is an awesome laptop if you want a new machine that is affordable, i put XP on it the day i got it and used drivers for VIA website, this thing rocks, i ordered me 2gigs for the ram and cant wait till it gets here so i can put it in.
- Cons: none really other than finding drivers to make everything work
- Other Thoughts: it cheap, new, and pretty fast! no complaints here
