Reviews for the Emtec Gdium Liberty 1000

40% Emtec Gdium Liberty 1000
Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
This netbook is packed with unique features and an attractive Linux operating system, but it lacks in performance and endurance. Emtec deserves credit for creating a unique netbook with the purpose of sharing with others; however, based on the Gdium Liberty 1000’s performance, endurance, and limited storage space, this is not a machine we’d want to own, much less share. While the G-Linux operating system is compelling and its lack of a hard drive makes for a durable system, its almost unusable touchpad and hot temperatures make this $349 system even less attractive. Those looking for a solid and durable netbook with a compelling Linux OS should consider the HP Mini 1000 Mi, which starts at $249 and offers more stable performance and better ergonomics.

This display format is used for small tablets and a few very big smartphones (so big that they are rather tablets). This is for customers who want a small portable tablet with a display which is at least much bigger than usual smartphone displays.

Emtec: EMTEC is a French company that markets magnetic media products and other computer related consumables with headquarters in France. It has been founded 70 years ago. Until 2009, no laptop reviews have been available.

40%: This rating is bad and very rare. There are only a few models that are rated so poorly. If the source is reputable, then a purchase is probably not advisable.
