Hi list,
I know that some of you have an Efika Smartbook
(
http://www.genesi-usa.com/products/smartbook) and am interested in
your opinions on it. I'm looking to getting one myself, but only if
there are positive experiences with it.
My normal usage of such a netbook would be some browsing, emailing and
some development (mainly with vim) while traveling. I assume that the
10" display is just big enough for it (a 7" EeePC is a little too
small).
Things I'd like some information on:
- Will XFCE run without major issues?
- How is the keyboard, are the keys (much) smaller than a standard
laptop keyboard?
- Is the display good readable when sitting outside, possibly in the sun?
- Any other pros/cons you can think of.
Dennis Gilmore has already made a XFCE root image for the Efika SB. It
works fine. There's links to it in archive messages on the list, else
I'm sure he'll link to it.
