“The Dell unit I looked at came with an Intel Atom N270
CPU running at 1.6GHz. This one had 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM, an 80GB,
5,400rpm hard drive, and integrated Mobile Intel 950 GMA graphics
chip set. It also had a 6-cell battery. Like most new netbooks, it
comes with a good-sized display: 10.1”. As equipped, this unit
would sell for $444.“The base Ubuntu Linux 8.10 equipped unit comes with 512MBs of
RAM, a 16GB SSD (solid state drive) and a 3-cell battery. This
version of the netbook sells for $369. If you wanted to get the
same netbook with XP Home SP3, it would cost you $399. It’s always
nice to see a vendor offer you the Linux cost savings.”
