Netbooks: The Rise and Fall of 2010’s “Future of Tech”

https://www.tiktok.com/@awesomecast/video/7459824447197924639

Remember when netbooks were everywhere? Then the iPad arrived, and they vanished! Relive the tech battle of 2010 at www.AwesomeCast.com and www.SorgatronMedia.com.

#Netbooks #iPad #TechHistory #AwesomeCast

#FYI: Die #Netbooks von damals sind heute nicht mehr produktiv nutzbar.
Vielleicht als Photorahmen, da ist der Stromverbrauch aber zu hoch...

That irrepressible need to buy old netbooks and install obscure OSes on them.

#hardware #netbooks

@SweetAIBelle Needless to say I'm convinced I can just boot @OS1337 from either a #USB-#Floppy(-#Emulator via USB Adaptor) or regular #flashdrive using #Ventoy, as #ISOLINUX distro...

• I've been using that for a while to do #multiboot - #flashdrives to replace #YUMI and not rely on the expensive #IODD hard drive / SSD cases...

I'll test it out today...

Luckily I have some "bare metal" to test against:

• Sony Vaio P11Z (Atom Z520 / i586 & sse3_atom)
• hp t530 (AMD GX-212 / i686, amd64 & sse4.1 )
• Zotac IONITX A-E (Atom 330 / i586, amd64 & sse3_atom)

Sadly I don't have much more "lower end" or "legacy" systems as a significant collection of mine got stolen from storage years ago and I don't have the money flying around to build @rasteri 's #Wee86 / #WeeCee... I was thinking about getting one of those Dell Wyse 3040 which AFAIK come with a #cursed #32bit #UEFI...

Sadly "Potato-level" #Netbooks running #VIA #C7 chips are nowadays rare and absurdly expensive and targeting those would be good as they already get too slow for mainstream 32bit distros like #BunsenLabsLinux so repurposing those as #OS1337 testing machines and target hardware may be a good option...
Tho just clocking down a #ThinClient with VIA Edenwould be sufficient to test out.

One of the machines that stolen from me was a Futro S300 with a #Transmeta CPU that I originally intended to use as #Windows95 box...

• Like with #Android - #ROMs I've to likely do custom .config files to target such hardware and stay within the 1440kB size Limit for or the "CORE Edition"...

...needless to say it and the #OLPC #XO1 are what made #fanless #StickPCs and #Netbooks as good as they are today:

Saw a video on ootube asking "whatever happened to netbooks?"
Surely tablets, smartphones and then chromebooks?
Had an Acer Aspire one netbooks back then that came with Linpus installed (what happened to them) #technology #netbooks

@ravenlb I wish for modern #Netbooks to return...

@Hayden I love #Netbooks and I really want a more modern #Mainboard & #Screen for my #VaioP P11Z!

Conoscete un buon produttore o distributore di batterie per laptop? Me ne serve una nuova pacca per il piccolino in foto, ma non mi fido dei marchi che ho trovato.

Ohhh, the Netbook story. I was looking for one so long that I managed to miss that time completely and just got a MacBook 😅

However, sweet memories of reading all the reports that @pallenberg had on the Netbooknews.de and later also .com site.

#Netbooks

@ohyran @popey Yeah KDE Plasma Netbook layout is awesome. Too bad it did not continue in newer versions of Plasma. Well yeah netbooks are not so popular anymore. Anyways. i still use my HP Mini 110 from time to time and I still love Plasma Netbook on it :) It later got merged with Plasma Active into Plasma Mobile we have today. Maybe I should try to get that one running on this little lappy :)
