Seriously though, have you taken a look at a picture of a LimeBook? There's absolutely no logo on the cover at all. Perfect to just slap a boingball or anything else on. Maybe the circular area (red in this image) would be a good spot:


If that's the same case design that the Amiga netbook is going to use then I'd be very happy, I think it's a very neat design with good lines, it is the same case that my A1600 Aros netbook has and it's quite comfortable to use, the keys are traditional ones rather than those horrible flat-faced ones that have become the fashion. I removed the silly stickers from mine straight away.

Yeah, I don't think it's a bad design, aesthetically - just not so sure about what's going into it.

The 5121e?
Uh oh.
 
Freescale should have canceled that one.

Why? The 512x line of processors is pretty neat. But it's a line of processors for embedded things, especially for the automotive world and there especialy Delphi/GM (AFAIK). Only mistake is to think they are desktop processors - but Freescale never claimey they were.
