FOSS netbook

Name: Anonymous 2012-03-17 16:56

I'm looking for a netbook with the following characteristics:
- dirt-cheap (under the 200 USD mark)
- screen size between 7 and 11 inch
- preferably ARM-based CPU (but x86 is fine too)
- computational power at least half of an Intel Atom N450
- at least 128MiB of RAM
- at least 2GiB of nonvolatile storage OR SD-card reader
- over 6 hours battery life
- no binary blobs required for operation (I don't care if 3d and/or video acceleration require binary blobs, I don't use those anyway)
- open source firmware or "BIOS"

Whoa, that's actually not bad at all.  DMP advertises their CPU as using very little power (<1W) and the fact that it has SSD (as well as supporting an SD card, though they don't say whether it supports SDHC or SDXC) makes it very very attractive from a battery life standpoint.  Oh and it's incredibly cheap.  Wow.

Just to make sure, you are talking about this url (base64-hidden cause I'm no spammer), right? data:text/plain;base64,aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbGliYWJhLmNvbS9wcm9kdWN0LWdzLzQ0ODM4OTEyNC9sb3dfcHJpY2VfbWluaV83X2xhcHRvcF9jaGVhcGVzdC5odG1s

If yes, have you already bought from there?  What was your experience?  If you have this specific model, how long is the battery life?  When the battery does go bad, can and where may I find a replacement?  How much was the shipping?  Should I go ahead and send them a message directly?  Does coreboot support that specific model?

Sorry for bombarding you with all these questions; I thank you very kindly, dear stranger, for you have made my day week!
