ZDNet sees the Ubuntu Based Dell Developers machine...

ZDNet has a quick update and first impression of a new Dell Laptop that will be based on Ubuntu.  The concept is cool and the laptop looks and sounds usable.  The big question is will people switch from Windows to it or will this just eat into Apple's market share?

Our must have CES Gadget...

We have, as with all self respecting geeks, watching everything that has come out of CES.  Since I was on Vacation I am just catching the cool stuff.  Gizmodo shows off pictures of and talks about Lenovo's announcement of a "hybrid" laptop to be released later this year.  What do they mean by "hybrid"?  Well it's a laptop that is both a Linux and Windows Laptop.  It consists of two parts: a tablet disguised as the LCD Screen and the base part of the computer.  The Linux part of the system is the detachable Tablet PC/screen which is powered by an ARM Chip with 512MB of RAM and a touch screen.  The Windows PC half is the bulk of the physical machine running a Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM.
