has anyone seen the notebooks that linare is going to sell? They look decent, at least for the $600 model, link. If anyone see's a review post it here, i would like to see how they stack up against other notebooks in their class.

Can you say Linspire?

The hardware is on par with a cheap compaq. Blow away the install and put on a more robust distrobution

The only thing that concerns me is the that they dont state if it has usb ports. Also the noise that it produces, since it is so inexpesive you have to consider how loud one of these would be. I have never used linare before but I here there are a few problems with it as far as the updates go. I would like to get one but I wont touch a cheap notebook untill i see a review.
