The Most Expensive Netbook Ever is Running Linux: Who says Linux netbooks are cheap? At Dell's website, they have posted perhaps the most expensive netbook ever. Its cost? A staggering $100,278 USD. What's more surprising is that the said netbook is powered by Ubuntu Linux. Some of its technical specifications are as follows:
Intel Atom N270 Processor
160G, 2.5inch, 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
1GB1 DDR2 SDRAM2
For the price, I know the specs sound pretty basic and it's not even gold-plated or diamond-encrusted. If you think that I'm kidding, see this photo:
It's undeniably a pricing error on Dell's part, which has been fixed as of the moment. The real price of Dell Mini 10n running Ubuntu Linux is only $279 :-)

ReplyDeleteMy laptop is dual boot, opensuse 11.4 and windows 7. Opensuse 11.4 is my everyday OS, but I have to boot up Windows 7 so I can run Adobe Lightroom 3.3 and CS5 :( Adobe will not listen to me when I say that they need to make Linux versions of there software.
