Hello every one!
Do someone of you know some netbook/portable device working with free software which is still in commerce? I had an asus 1015cx which worked out-of-the-box (i thought i added on h-node at that time but it seems I didn't, sorry :-( ), I can't find anything I'm sure it works. I'd like to have something similiar, i.e. long battery life, small size, wireless card and sound working with free software, storage as big as possible, as cheap as possible. I don't care too much about performances, i need portability.

Once I installed Trisquel and later Parabola in a HP mini 110, with Xfce. Good performance, worked great but wifi card didn't :(

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be still for sale anywhere... Indeed my first choice to replace my eeepc 1015cx would be another 1015cx, but i can't find it :-( . I can't understand why netbooks have been completely replaced by tablets or ultrabooks, having both a different aim.

Ciao! Actually most of them are not for sale anymore and some of them are 15 inches laptop. The only ones I see fitting what I'm searching for are the chromebooks c720 and 720p which I will consider, even though I'm a bit scared about the fact that the device needs to be opened in order to rewrite the OS, along with some additional configurations (e.g. for debian http://www.circuidipity.com/c720-chromebook-to-jessiebook). But I will consider them together with the libreboot c201 (https://minifree.org/product/libreboot-c201). Thanks!
