Last week I got a new notebook. First I was thinking of getting the Panasonic CF-R6 but later I realized that 2GB of memory can be very fine so I decided to get a new one and so I chose the CF-R7 which comes with 1GB memory a 80GB HDD and a Intel core2duo processor. It came in a very small package.
The first thing I realized is, that they added a small fan on the back. I was not that happy at first, but I realized by the time that it is very silent.
Since I am no Vista user I installed Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon.
Everything worked quite out of the box even the sdhc card reader in the front. The only thing which is not working is the feature to change the display brightness with the hotkeys. I tried everything sofar but no luck at all.
After some days of working with it I can say that I am very happy with this machine. Its small, fast, light, not easy to break and runs quite long on the battery.
