Re: [fedora-arm] [Fwd: Re: Genesi notebook?]

The real question is whether it will:

1) Correct the issues that made the original largely unusable
without some hacking (e.g. the "0-button mouse":
http://www.altechnative.net/2011/06/07/genesi-efika-mx-smartbooks-0-button-mouse/
)

2) Be an improvement on the Chromebook's spec
(specifically: more RAM and higher res screen than the
Chromebook)

I loved the original Efika MX Smartbook, but it was thoroughly
overshadowed by the AC100 once the community got the kernel
support for the hardware fully sorted out. Let's hope that the
new model doesn't suffer the same fate even before it's release
date...
