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.
It works well i use my smartbook everyday.

its all setup to run from a sdcard. 1st partition gets the contents on the
boot tarball and should be ext3 the second partition gets the contents of the
rootfs. it is the fedora xfce spin contents. it pretty easy to transfer to
the internal storage.
overall im pretty happy with it.
