To make this clear: I want to have a netbook type laptop (as laptop I use Dell E6330 which works just fine with FreeBSD). I was asking for a 10 or 11 inch size model. Re/ Mac, for a bunch of reasons Mac is a no go for me, not as laptop and not as mobile cellphone. One reason you can Google for with 'Apple stories'. > This works for me a lot better than native FreeBSD on a laptop -- my > last computer was a Lenovo X400 running FreeBSD natively, and I wasted > too much time trying to get Chrome and other third party X apps to > work.

Of course, one has to pre-check the components and maybe change, for example. the Wifi chip or use an USB dongle as Wifi. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, guru@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-170-4527211 1989-2014: The Wall was torn down so that we go to war together again.
