Kogan Agora Netbook now under $500
A few weeks ago purchased a Kogan Agora Netbook Pro, for $569 delivered. The machine has worked well (see my blog posts) and I have adapted to using Linux in place of Windows XP. But perhaps I am one of the few, as Kogan have reduced the price by $100.
About my only complaints with the Agora were:- No printed installation guide and no electronic user manual on the disk (I had to download the manual from the web),
- WiFi is difficult to set up and seems slow,
- Have not been able to get a USB 3G mobile broadband device to work,
- Shiny black top.
- More than fast enough for email, web browsing and office applications,
- Open source office, email and web applications work well,
- Updating of software online works better than on Windows XP,
- Works well with USB flash devices, printer, DVD drive and external hard disk,
- Looks at home at the cyber cafe amongst much more expensive netbooks,
- It is is an understated black, not white, or pink.
