“In all cases, the Linux netbooks failed at some basic
functions that any laptop, no matter how tiny and inexpensive,
should be able to handle, like working with printers. At the same
time, Mi and Moblin have impressive graphical user interfaces
well-suited to the habits of typical netbook users, like checking
email and accessing social-networking sites, as well as the small
screens and low horsepower of tiny laptops. In addition to Linux,
all of the computers shared the standard features, or lack thereof,
common among netbooks, including compact keyboards and no DVD
drives.”
