The Loongson-2 MIPS Lemote Yeeloong Netbook

Hardware, Embedded Systems Few hardware vendors have not yet launched their own mini laptop (or, "netbook"). Most brands these days produce their own version of the same hardware, with Intel's i386-compatible Atom cpu's and Windows XP installed on a spinning hard drive or sometimes still a solid state disk. Some Linux models are still sold by some vendors, among whom Asus, which more or less started selling in this OLPC-inspired genre of laptops.

can we add more ram?


I opened up the bottom of the laptop to answer this, both RAM and the hard drive (Fujitsu in my case) are easily accessible. There's one removable 1 GB RAM module (667MHz SDRAM DDR2), so if the motherboard can handle it it can be replaced by 2 GB.
So the good news is that no RAM was soldered to the motherboard.

the autonomy is too low... is there any way to get a better battery?


I couldn't tell, but I'll try to find out since it seems to be a deal breaker for many people here. :-)
