system76, one of the few (quite possibly the only) hardware vendors that exclusively use Linux as the preloaded OS on their systems, just dropped some new ultraportable hotness for the Linux crowd. Packing an array of Core 2 Duo processor options (up to 2.33Ghz), 802.11a/b/g wireless (with a light sprinkling of Bluetooth), a 13" widescreen WXGA display and up to 1.5Gb of ram all wrapped in a sexy white chassis that weighs in at 4.3lbs. and running Ubuntu 6.10, is more than enough power for the penguinista on the go that likes to travel light.
