I am disgusted by the games Intel/Microsoft have been playing with the netbook segment. I have a 10" Acer Aspire and LOVE the 7 1/2 hr battery life running Fedora. I am REALLY looking forward to ARM-based offerings. But to get me to buy it has to have 8+ hr battery life, a high-res display (hopefully better than the 1024x600 that they are currently crippling netbooks with), and a keyboard you can touch type on.... Having Android/Chrome/Linux would be a PLUS for me... (The farther away from Windows the better...) I also want it to meet or beat the price-point of $350 of the device that I'm currently using...

What should I do with junk like that? I’d really love to by one of those smartbooks, but not with windows on it and NEVER with windows mobile. What should I do with junk like that?

I want to buy a smartbook instead of a netbook and instead of a laptop (later I will consider a high powered laptop to replace the desktop). Main reasons: Linux, Linux, Linux!!! Does not support Windows too well, and let's keep it that way. Windows sucks, enough said! All day battery, Yahoo! I want to buy one.

If it is light and runs cool for at least the whole day (working, not standby) on one charge, has provisions for a high resolution external screen when needed, 3G, potential for WiMax, Wifi, Bluetooth for voice calls etc, external keyboard/mouse when needed, the power saving solid state disk drive does not need to be more that some 16 gigabytes since I store things in the cloud or on an external drive. If so I believe I could do most of my job via VPN and remote desktop from this thing. I do have a netbook but it dissipates too much battery energy as heat from electronics and hard drive, would need a 16 cell battery or something like this to last the day. Yes.
