Asus Budget Ultraportable Notebook Sold Sans OS 263
EconolineCrush writes "Tired of paying the Windows tax on notebooks? Asus's Eee PC 1201T budget ultraportable comes without a traditional operating system and sells for only $380. The 12-inch system has promising specifications, sporting an Athlon Neo processor, Radeon HD 3200 graphics, Bluetooth, and 802.11n Wi-Fi. It weighs just 3.2lbs with a 6-cell battery and can even handle light gaming duties. However, battery life in Ubuntu is considerably shorter than it is under Windows. Are there any better options for would-be laptop Linux users?"

Expressgate is to traditional OS as Knara is to traditional human being. Expressgate can do simple things, like browse the web, but is incapable of more advanced tasks, similar to how Knara can (apparently) browse the web, but fails at more complex tasks like thinking.
