PC Thoughts

Considering the success of Linux laptops like the Eee, how long until someone brings out a non-x86 variant?

Are there processors out there that would be as faster, cheaper and more power-efficient?

Didn't Ars recently review the Puma and decide it was going to tank?

Which is odd as it's not trying to compete with those. A more interesting comparison would be with the mobile 45nm Core 2s.

Is it really a place out of the spotlight they can compete in? It seems to me that 'low power laptop' is the area they used to try to compete in, but that area is entirely owned by Intel now.
