@wyatt the closest I've seen was the #PixelQi panel mod for an:old #IdeaPad #Netbook…
But yeah, I want to see some proper #eInk screens with like #DVI / #DP (or even #HDMI) input…
@dirtycommo i915 ?

1337 $#!+ I did thatThat MacBook Neo could get me back to #Apple after , what,15 years. Now that the Apple price for #RAM is actually fair given that they have not really changed their prices after the apocalypse:-) Now with a $599 netbook?
I was the biggest netbook fan, and a Mac Stan, sick fanboy throughout the 1990s. So I can get for sure into a new Apple #netbook:-)
I mean I am still going to run my #linux #AI cluster in my racks. You know, my new mac will have SSH so it is great:-)
Judeau (EatTheRich)I finished stripping the rubberized coating off the #Asus #EeePC and I'm super happy with the results!
One feature of this #Netbook which I knew nothing about is that it has two power buttons. One button boots up to the #Windows OS as expected.
The other button fast boots in about 8 seconds to a bare bones #Linux distro called Express Gate. Apparently it's built into the motherboard chipset which is why it can load so fast.
This is awesome!

All right, who's the person that thought rubberized coatings on everything in the mid to late 2000s was the cool thing to do?
This is an #Asus #EeePC 1005PEB and the lid was covered in the thickest rubber coating that I have encountered so far.
Of course, it had gummed up over the last 15+ years and I have been slowly removing it with isopropyl alcohol for the past hour. I went around the edges and have half of the cover cleaned.
I have been looking for a Sylvania #SmartBook for some time & finally got one!
These are such interesting devices. One part 90's H/PC, one part 2000's #PocketPC & thrown into a #NetBook form factor.
It's a strange hybrid device of form and function.
I can't wait to tinker around with this. Since it runs on ARM and #WindowsCE I have heard there are ways to load pocket PC programs on it, though they may be unoptimized.
@yura @dps910 @wboss On those you could install @bunsenlabs or #TinyCoreLinux and they still have a useable system.
Sorry, but you didn't expect even a beefy PC from 1998 to be useable in 2016, so I can't fault a 2008 #Netbook for being EoL in 2026.
- For contect: If that Netbook was a human it would be legal for it to buy itself a beer, if not liquor in Germany!
- Seriously, do consider setting up some lightweight #Linux distro instead, cuz chances are the users of that machine only want to use it for small, lightweight tasks.
- It'll take you like am hour or two to introduce them to it but drill down to them that #Windows7 is as much of a non-option as Tetraetyllead inbgasoline or Asbestos for oven mittens!
I mean, they don't expect to play Crysis on that thing, or are they that deranged?
