Linux Journal Gadget Guy, Shawn Powers, reviews the Aleutia E1, a small, portable computer that uses very little electricity and can run on solar power.
1st the price is way to much for a cpu speed as slow as this snail/turtle. For that much money just add 100.00 more & you can just buy a mac mini with more then enough cpu speed with a dual core intel cpu. This computer is lame, I would feel like I was a child again working on my Commodore 64 or my TRS80. Heck I think my calculator is faster(haha). These big biz companies just trip me out because they are always trying to rip us off & this one is a joke. People just buy a netbook or mac mini.
Seriously, this is the second review of an overpriced tiny-factor system. You guys going to get to the koolu? It has a good price and is better than linutop or this thing.
Interesting product, but their claim that it’ll run on solar power is a bit academic when you factor in the power requirements of a screen, that this doesn’t have.
For “off the grid” probably better off with a low-power laptop and a solar supply.
another excellent review of an interesting product, thanks
oh and i want your dog!
oh and could you review the macbook air (im aware its not linux and its mac and that means its the spawn of the devil but god damm its one hell of a sexy laptop)
He did not mentioned that these machines were specifically designed for use in developing countries. It is VERY well designed for this purpose.
Im having a really hard time with ubuntu, Firefox doesnt work right, I really don’t want to switch back to windows.
it looks good but its too pricey

Did you even turn it on and try it?
It would have been nice to see it in action rather than spend 60sec+ griping about the price tag & specs.
more Ram would have been nice..but eh not worth it.
Well unless u want to use it as a server….
The dog thing in the end. ESPECTACULAR =)
thanks for doing this.. =)
I’m glad to use Linux.. hehe =)
Those keys are like 8 inches apart… That is a significant hande-eye coordination deficiancy right there

An ironic comment since the site you’re saying this on is probably ran on Linux
let me guess, you one of those people that thinks Linux is good and stable. news flash; it isn’t
Burn in HELL
linux is epic fail
