hands-on with the Kogan Agora Netbook Pro
Look out Australia, there's a new netbook about to hit town and it's by Kogan, the company responsible for affordable big-screen TVs, photo frames and other nifty products. After receiving a lot of feedback via blog comments about what people want to see in a netbook, Kogan is set to release its first one this week: the Kogan Agora Netbook Pro. It's a 10.2in netbook that will cost $539. For the price you'll get 2GB of RAM and a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, as well as 802.11g networking, a Bluetooth USB module, a 160GB hard drive and a 1.3-megapixel webcam.
Kogan has chosen to release the Agora Netbook Pro with gOS, which is based on the Linux-based Ubuntu operating system. It comes with Google applications, as well as OpenOffice, Skype and Pidgin (an instant messaging program). It's very easy to use and installing more applications will also be easy once you get online.
