my next /g/aming ri/g/

My X60s is getting quite old, and I'd like to get another laptop (or netbook or tablet) without all the backstabbing BIOS and firmware that seem to be quite common on most consumer devices; before someone (Cudder) brings it up, I have better things to do than audit a four megabyte binary. I know two of you were working on hackboard, and there's a bunch of FOSS devboard projects cropping up all over the place; I'm wondering if there's an actual usable laptop using one of them somewhere on the horizon.

Also I don't mind if it's only 1 or even 0.5 GB of RAM and a somewhat slow CPU, the most resource-intensive application I ever use is probably eight megabytes and constantly swapping the web browser (because not all websites work in elinks, sadly).

Anyway, time to catch up on my sleep.

Only if you have a salary of 100,000u/y+ it is not. Even then, would it be better to have a laptop at < 540€? That way, you can buy more than one and make a Beowulf cluster, if you have that kind of budget.

Enjoy your x86 ghetto

I hope you can really scale on out of order executions, especially visualization, Loongson 3A/2GQ.
