Would you recommend the product? yes | Price you paid? (in USD): $698.99 | Rating: 8
Kernel (uname -r):
2.6.9-34.EL
Distribution:
CentOS release 4.3 (Final)
Installed CentOS 4.3 and am writing this review from this laptop right now. Cpuspeed would cause intermitent lockups, shut it off fixed the problem. Battery life could be better (was a little better with cpuspeed turned on) but over all I am pleased with the purchase. The RaLink RT2500 wireless G card is well supported under linux, and was easy to configure (the source bundle even has a configuration utility you can abcompile if you want to use it.) Was able to install mplayer and dvd playback is better than I expected. The display is very crisp and bright. Over all performance is better than I expected. I would recomend this laptop to others as an affordable linux laptop.
