From Silicon Madness...

The revamp is much needed, because while the XO-1 fullfills his mission remarkably well, the Geode LX was unable to run things like Youtube videos, Hulu, etc. Videos still play fine using MPlayer and other applications work fine enough. Wireless range is good and battery life is very good for such a cheap device, similar to most netbooks of the same price range: around 5 hours when using just the internal memory, 3 hours running the OS from an SD card and around 9-10 hours if used in ebook mode, where the laptop can suspend itself often.



The device has a remarkable suspend/resume time of around 150ms, which allows it to retain the image in the DCON(a custom chip you won't find elsewhere), output it to the screen while most of the system is suspended and still wake up at a press of a key before you notice it. The reflective screen is definitely another strong point of the machine and one of my favorite ones.
