[...] Ik vind het moeilijk om op dit moment te overzien wat precies de gevolgen voor vrije software zullen zijn. In ieder geval is Mark Shuttleworth, de oprichter van Ubuntu Linux, een project gestart om een volledig vrije laptop te ontwikkelen. [...]

Hey, Mark. I would love to buy one of these laptops once you get things going. How much would they cost? Also, will they be available at mainstream stores?

My perfect Ubuntu laptop would focus more on the hardware than the software. It would have at least 3 years worth of upgrade compatability, (future-proofing) for CPU, GPU, HD, and RAM. I don’t care if that means that I’m locked into a specific vendor (such as Nvidia for the GPU) but I do want to be able to upgrade the components as my needs arise.

The fact that consumers let companies get away with installing substandard hardware is because they lack the education to demand something better. Certifying any pc as linux / free-software which includes integrated graphics accepts the same shoddy quality companies have been pushing on users for some time now.

I wish it had something better than the crappy Nvidia 7300 GO available though (on either laptop!). Won’t be able to game at all (FPS) with anything in the last 3 years. Pathetic. Wish they had some 7800 GO as an option (the cheaper versions). Mainly I’m looking forward to Unreal Tournament 3, due out in Nov.
I’m probably the minority since I doubt most linux gamers will need a 7800 GO. They will however, need a nvidia card. That other laptop doesn’t even offer nvidia cards as an option. That rules it out for gamers.
I know intel video cards are liked because they are open source but .. come on .. they don’t work for gamers =(
