Who would have thought several years ago buying any type of computer hardware when you went shopping for your groceries would have suonded ridiculous but with the coming of todays market you can now even buy yourself a Linux laptop at some of the large supermarket chains such as Tesco. One of the benefits of buying from Tesco is often their prices are quite reasonable as they have the buying power and ability to distribute their products all over the country so there is no harm in comparing prices with some of the supermarkets when it comes to making a purchase, another key benefit is the reassurance incase anything did go wrong with the product you can take it back to your local store in some cases.

The new problem with today’’s industry is not whether linux is an effective OS but more will the manufacturers roll it out, it will take time to see a difference in the market but in the long term I think that the linux laptop will have a lot of fans.

In today’’s age when it comes to money its always best to save where not needed and if you can save several hundred pounds on the price of software most people would be inclined.

Nowadays its no the price of the PC but the price of the software that takes it toll, with Open Office we can now have the opportunity to take on a office suite which is open source and can do the office tasks we need it to do.

We all know that with most new software and OS software that comes out in the market usually has a hefty price tag and in the past open source software hasn”t even been an option. Today we are starting to realise the potential of the linux and with various linux distributions becoming available and the installation of the OS and software becoming a lot easier than it used to be linux now is becoming an option for more and more users. The main selling point when bundled with hardware is the price tag which can sometimes bring down the cost of a product by as much as £100 combined with a laptop this is a substantial amount which is proving to be very popular with the new linux laptops that are coming out

MSI Wind
10-inch screen, long battery life and comfortable keypad, sounds good but at what price?

Price
Taiwan’’s MSI (Micro-Star International) plans to sell them for around £300 in the UK, Europe, US starting from July. The price of the laptop puts it close to the top of the small screen laptops but given the screen is bigger than some of its competitors and the RAM is 1gb the MSI Wind comes out a fair price.

Features
MSI Wind will come in a variety of colours bundled with Microsoft Windows XP, the 1.6GHz Intel Atom microprocessor, 80GB hard disk drive (HDD) and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g.

It will be interesting to see the price of a linux version of the laptop

Known as the Acer One, as you can see from the above picture it brings a fresh new look to the linux laptop scene, according to Acer it’’s “not a low-cost notebook” and on first impressions looking at the laptop I would agree.

The One is packed with processor and memory power boasting a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor; 512MB of 533MHz DDR 2 memory with a single SO-Dimm slot ; 1024 x 600, 262,000-colour LED-backlit display, 8.9in screen and a 0.3- mega pixel webcam.

Acer’’s One: The Price?

Like many other small laptops the One comes with a choice of either Linux or XP Home. The Linux version is fitted with 8GB of solid-state storage, while the alternative XP version comes with a 80GB hard drive along with a higher price and a battery life which is lower.

The One uses Intel’’s 945GSE chipset, HD audio on board and 3D graphics support. 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and 10/100Mb/s Ethernet , 3 USB 2.0 ports, 3.5mm audio sockets and VGA.

Slick

One of the plus points to the laptop is that it comes with a memory card reader which is great to boast storage capacity.

BT bundles Microsoft Office with Linux laptop

Purchasers of the Asus Linux-running Eee PC 900 are offering Microsoft Office to get attention for their products.

Well I myself find BT’’s offer quite interesting their linux laptop is offering the 20GB 900 for £335.99, and if you want the MS Office Home and student in the box the price will be £422.34.

Bt has selected the deal which saves just under £2 by buying them in this package as opposed to buying the 2 products seperately.
