Linpus demos uber klein mystery netbook

Like a little intrigue with your morning Joe? Check out the video below of this sleek little unidentified netbook on display at CeBIT last week at the Linpus booth, found by the same excitable bloke who brought us a glimpse of the company's Linux Lite OS. The hardware sounds to fit the standard Atom-based mold as the rest, adding 3G wireless for true portability, and is said to be built by Quanta, the company rumored to be on tap to build Apple's supposed netbook. Does that mean it could look something like this? We doubt it -- but wouldn't be surprised if it, too had a glossy screen.

I just hope that when Apple does indeed make a netbook, it'll be priced as one too.

That guy's expression is win.

Too many USB ports to be a Mac netbook ;-)

I'm sorry, but "Linpus" has got to be the worst name ever.

Well, another linux netbook. Not much of a shock.... but damn that looks pretty.

And it's not Ubuntu, that was a little more of a surprise.

[Tubalcain Posted Mar 11th 2009 2:16PM]

WTF? couldn't they have come up with a better name than Linpus? Its sounds like some kind of a disease, a variant of pus and maybe implies something sexual as well, Linux weirdos.
