The cheapie Bay Trail convertibles seem like, potentially, the much more awesome--lighter, more touch-tastic and fun--revenge of the netbook. The 'problem,' such as it is, is that lots of the target audience already has tablets or faster small laptops, sort of squeezing the convertibles from either side. That and that Win8 can't seem to catch a break.
- ekianjo 13y agoIt's time for Linux on the Bay Trail :) Seriously, this could be a good alternative to Windows 8, especially with the increasing amount of games with Steam for Linux.
- eterm 13y agoIn my experience battery life is half in Linux (ubuntu to be fair) what I get in Windows. I don't know why this is but I don't tend to recommend Linux to laptop users because of this.
- ekianjo 13y agoHave you tried recently ? In the latest kernels the situation is not as bad as it used to be. I am not sure, however, how well the Bay Trail will be supported in that regard.
- dllthomas 13y agoI haven't tried Windows on it, but I've been more than happy with the battery life on my new System76 laptop.
