Light Laptop Under 500 Linux

THIS IS A GREAT BUY!!!!BEST MIC YOU CAN GET FOR UNDER 500!!!...WILL BE BUYING FROM THEM AGAIN VERY SOON!!@@!!!! JW

Needed an small portable HD to carry with my laptop. This HD is small, light, fast, and has the capacity that I was looking for. I have a linux and a NTFS partition on it and is working great. No extra cable needed to power it up. Great design.

Light, well-built, powerfull, long batery life, runs linux flawlessly... I am very glad I picked this laptop as my daily driver. Ive been using it for around a month now and unless there is a hardware problem developping I can see myself using this laptop for a while.

Cloned a Linux Drive in a laptop without a single problem. Worked well, made well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I could not be more happy with this powerhouse laptop. Under 3 pounds! And the power brick is as light as a phone charger! I am very happy!

Under $5, how could you go wrong? Thank You!

This is a great little LED! Under the right settings, you can use it as a nice fill light, but primarily makes for a great kicker or hair light. The high CRI rating ensures it will blend will with natural daylight and its rugged build will ensure it will handle the most grueling shoots. Oh, and it's light too!

I bought this lens and it takes awesome pictures on both my 6D and 90D. Under good light, I can not tell a difference in picture quality between this lens vs my 70-200 F4 L IS. and the extra reach to 300mm is very good to have. Plus the lens is lighter and I took it on my recent trip to Alaska and caught some great shots of Grizzly bears.

I work with two Kubuntu 12.04 Linux workstations continuously connected, and a Windows 7 employer's Lenovo 530 laptop that I connect every evening on returning home and disconnect every morning when heading to work (via a Lenovo docking station continuously connected). My monitors are dual Dell 3007 2560x1600 dual-link DVI, keyboard Avant Stellar (PCI connector via USB adapter), with a Microsoft wireless mouse. When using the laptop, I can use its screen in addition to the two Dells. I can switch among these seamlessly. I even have the less-used Linux workstation normally sleeping, as it wakes up properly as soon as I select it. A nice touch is that one Dual-Link DVI cable of each pair has the USB and audio cables integrated into it, keeping the wiring rat's nest manageable. The only annoyance is that, inevitably, because the external monitor configuration for the Windows 7 Lenovo 530 at the office differs, I need to reposition some windows when moving between home and office. But once I got the Windows configuration set up properly, the laptop at least automatically recognizes which monitor configuration it's connected to. (Because the DVI outputs of the Lenovo docking station are single-link, it's necessary to use its HDMI outputs and interpose Accel HDMI to Dual DVI converters between it and the MiniView.)

I needed this to add 5GHz capability to an old laptop that I was using as a router. The big antenna on this adapter makes it 2-3 times faster and much more stable than my old means of connecting. For Linux, you need to get the driver package from the website, don't bother with the included disk. I used the latest version, I simply ran the install script in a terminal window, and it was up and running, that easy. The adapter unplugs from the base and can be plugged directly into a usb port if necessary, the antenna is hinged. The base is weighted and lets you move the adapter around for the best reception. Really can't come up with any negatives. It is hard to find a 5GHz USB Wifi adapter for Linux, and this one works very well. I'm sure the Windows and Mac support is as good.
