I was looking for netbooks recently in a shop  when a russian hacker sold me his "old" thinkpad X60 12" for a low price.. (far from being a netbook in performance but close in size & weight..). I installed the latest ubuntu on it + pd extended 0.42 and  now I´m thinking seriously  what to do with the fucking macbook pro.... Really great machine.. It loads pd in one second..  (like ten times faster than the mbp). The audio (i and o) works out of the box and the system recognizes my usb soundcard (even though it causes some confussion sometimes..).. The battery lasts almost 3 hrs using pd,.  I´m quite amazed by this also, because in the other computer, the battery consumption get´s multiplied by 3 at least, each time I open pd.. I hope this post inspires someone in something..   I know Pd runs in a netbook (with linux, of course..), but just runs, it doesn´t fly.. cheers ser.
