What do you think?

This is not a powerful machine by any means. But, very FreeBSD-compatible.

Another src for cheap laptops is...

I picked up 10 Thinkpad x61 laptops for £65 each a while back. These are all pretty FreeBSD friendly too

Interesting. The Xcore86/Xcore86+ processor is talked about in a thread at http://www.deviceonchip.com/forum/29-Spare-Parts/581-Xcore86.html.

I still have my T61P, minus the screen, it works well with FreeBSD.

After reading that, it seems like they must have never solved the issue with the 1gb module . Since they are not offerring it anymore .

I like thats is fanless . If I had the tools to make a carrier board, I'd use that module to make a MID/UMPC/PMP . And, could probably sell it for less than the laptop .

I'm asking them for more info on the video device .

The laptop is nolonger available . Oh, well .

If you can get a hold of one, maybe you could try playing with a Godson/Loongson based system, such as the Yeeloon. I first heard about these from a Richard Stallman interview. He used one because it could run a free BIOS. OpenBSD has a port and work continues.

That is a great find . I have long been looking forward to such devices emerging on the market . I think the price is a bit high, for the machine's specs . But, it is good to see that kinda movement .
