Hi everyone! I actually had our prototype of this laptop up at the
OSCON show in Portland and it was pretty well received.
Everything works for the most part although we're still tweaking
some things for ACPI.
I'll have one at the FreeBSD booth at LinuxWorld in San Francisco
next week, August 5-7. We'll announce as soon as this thing is 100%
and we're comfortable bringing the product line up as an item that
we're comfortable supporting long term. Most likely, available to
the general public in September.
best,
-matt

ooooh
nice!

battery life?

I haven't done any battery life testing yet but I will. We just put
NetBSD current on there late last night and one of our guys is surfing
the net right now with one of the prototypes. We'll run it through
some tests over this weekend on FreeBSD 7 and post some relevant specs
up on the site next week. I'll let everyone know when we update :-P

We've got a couple of minimalist stickers on there but we're hoping to
ship it with a fun BSD sticker kit. I put the huge FreeBSD Mall bumper
sticker on the lid of mine ;-)

Would it be possible to order it not from US, and how much shipping
may cost ?
