Make a 12.1 Inch Flash Drive Laptop for $599.
No Hard Drive, No CD Drive - put them in the base station / docking station.
The 12 inch laptop will have 2 internal USB 2.0 connectors, so you could plug in two standard USB 2.0 High Speed Flash Memory Sticks. (a double slot so the mem-sticks don't stick out of the case.)
Comes standard with one 8 GB memory stick with
Puppy Linux Pre-Installed .
Puppy Linux is FAST! Runs Completely in RAM.
Have 4 more USB 2.0 connectors, widely spaced along the left hand side of the laptop - hook up 4 more flash drives, or printers/scanners/cameras -etc. any four USB 2.0 high speed devices.
Tech Specs:
12.1" 32 bit color LCD Screen, ULV CPU at 2.0 GHz.
1 GB RAM standard, 2nd GB slot available for max of 2GB.
6 USB 2.0 High Speed connectors (4 external, 2 internal)
Built in graphics & Video accelerator hardware.
All Graphics, Audio, Video Linux drivers included.
1 PCMCIA slot (for CF cards, microdrives, etc)
1 Express Card slot t (for newer, faster PC cards)
White LED light on screen lid that illuminates the keyboard (like IBM thinkpads)
HDMI, VGA output, Component Video Input + Stereo Audio input.
Stereo Microphones mounted in the coners of the screen lid.
Rotating XGA Camera for video and pictures.
Audio headphone jack on front AND on back.
Docking station expansion port connector.
14 Hour Battery Life.
(Remember - no hard drive, no CD drive in laptop, and using ultra low voltage CPU with no fan running when idling...)
WiFi Wireless Networking.
Configure Puppy Linux with popular software, such as GIMP and Open Office and have it pre-installed with
all the hardware drivers on the 1st USB flash drive. Puppy Linux already comes with all these Applications .
Along with the Ultra Life Notebook, offer a base - docking station,
with configurations of Hard Drive (160 GB up to 1 TB) and
CD Drive (DVD, or Dual Layer DVD burner), and port replication.
(4 USB 2.0 High Speed Hub, Bluetooth KB/Mouse support)
SAMSUNG has a Flash Laptop,
it is time Dell caught up with the Marketplace.
