Thursday September 24, 2009 2010.next: a better netbook for meetings
I recently borrowed one of the 10" netbooks that came out this year, and tested Build 123 on it. Here's a shot of Toshiba's sleek black NB205 displaying a clean Device Driver Utility run.
The NB205 has a keyboard on par with the r500 I use
regularly—large for a netbook—and has a superior trackpad.
Suspend-resume is reliable; compiz runs well; the extra vertical inch
means fewer application compromises over last year's netbook crop. (For
instance, rather than rearranging panel to the sides, use of
gnome-panel's auto-hide feature is enough to let applications run well
when maximized.)
If I don't have to give it back, it'll be my new "netbook for meetings".

Now if only we could order these with OpenSolaris by default!

It's hardly "sleek" with that much bezel around the screen, it looks more like one of those toy laptops you'd buy for your kids.

@fisher - But for $341 on Amazon, it's easy to overlook its non-Eamesian styling. Actually from the product shots I see on Amazon, it does look quite slim and the design is tidy overall.

I have an NB too (NB200-SP2904) with b123, but it doest't have the suspend option.
And I have not seen a place to enable it.
What is the difference?
Please take a look on other comments about the machine on:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=112293&tstart=0
and
http://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=11630
Anyway the machine is cool and I'm quite happy with it.

@Pablo: You need to add a line or two to /etc/power.conf. I believe "S3-support enable" and "autoS3 enable" are the necessary lines.
