Hello Trisquel users,

A bit of an off topic question, but with many free software enthusiasts reading this forum, you might be willing to provide an answer for me. I am searching for a new or second hand Lemote Yeeloong laptop, mostly for historical reasons as a collectable item as I already own more recent free hardware laptop alternatives which I can use for my day-to-day work (Lenovo X200 & Chromebook ASUS C201PA). Preferably I am interested to obtain a Yeeloong 8101B model with 10.1" screen, but a 8089B or 8089D model with 8.9" screen could also work as an alternative. Could someone please suggest a website or a contact where it would still be possible to buy such a laptop, I've searched on the Internet and looked on EBAY and there are like none to be found. Or maybe someone owns one which s/he doesn't consider keeping it for much longer, and would be interested to sell it and ship it to me? It would need to be shipped into European Union. For any information related to this question you can also contact me outside this forum for a live chat on #trisquel@freenode IRC channel, I am using the nickname "yang". Thank you!

Kind regards,
Jan

It's only going to be second hand. The machine was discontinued some years ago and is becoming very hard to find. I have not seen one in a long time. The last time was at the FSF office. They had a bin of some of them that were in pieces because they had problems (defective screen, etc.) It might be possible to reconstruct one machine from all of the pieces, assuming that they still have that bin after all this time.

Hello jxself,

Thank you for the answer. This sounds like something where the FSF staff would need to help me with, and probably it would take a lot of their (precious) time to reconstruct and test the machine and accomplish that. At this point I would still try to look elsewhere for an already complete and working laptop, but if I won't have any success finding it, then I could probably ask the people at the FSF for assistance.

Kind regards,
Jan

I tryed to find years ago any Yeelong netbook, and failed. These are inexistent.
