How about the practical side of things? You replace Google’s OS with Linux, and what happens? There is a deal with Google re cloud storage, support, etc. Details, please.

Silly question: would we be able to run “Final Cut Pro” or Sony Vegas on this guy...?
It would not run software made for windows, then..? Like it could not run Word?

Android operating system makes it useless with business applications. Additionally, the last Andriod update has just about rendered my Asus tablet frustrating to use for just about any application

Ubuntu is not an android system, it is a Linux distro.
It comes with a complete business suite that can create and open any Microsoft office file.
The combination of fast processor and the solid state hard drive should make it very fast. Linux takes advantage of increased SSD speeds, microsoft products do not handle this well yet.

There was a good review of this over on engadget. The screen is pretty low res. I know that people have gotten Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running on it but I thought I read that only an unofficial Alpha build was available. Have they made more progress on that front?

Yes, but that the only practical detail that the article offers.

I guess the price caught my eye.
And the fact that you could load your own OS could make it interesting....
Support questions always get into another whole area.

Thanks for the info. So you would have to purchase Windows OS or MS Office suite or both?
