Mandriva Sub-Notebook

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Mandriva is aiming for its share of the sub-notebook/netbook market with the new Gdium laptop.  What makes this particular laptop somewhat different from most of the pack is that it features no internal storage at all, “the operating system and all user data are stored on a USB key, known as the G-Key, which plugs into a USB port under the keyboard, in the middle of the machine.”  According to the folks at Mandriva this unique feature makes the Gdium “ideal for any environment where several systems will be shared among many users – like many office and education environments.”
