[Arm-netbook] Good netbook based on Cortex-A9

[freebirds at fastmail.fm]

Genesi EFIKA MX and Hercules have the same ARM Cortex A8  FreescaleTM
i.MX515 processor. https://www.genesi-usa.com/store/
hercules.com

VIA 8650 netbooks have an ARM926J processor. The touchpad and keyboard
of the 7 inch is too tiny. Today, I posted a thread the the VIA 8650
netbook I purchased from Amazon was shipped in an envelope without
padding and arrived with a cracked screen. 10" netbooks are available
from China.

Lemote Yeeloong has a MIPS processor.

Since tablets took the market share away from netbooks, manufacturers
are not manufacturing netbooks with the newest processors. Hence, people
are connecting their raspberry pi and MK802 to a Motorola lapdock
purchased from Amazon. Other option is to purchase a tablet and use a
keyboard and mouse manufactured for tables.
