no, i would get the newer version, buts it more expensive. really if you are just going to use it for surfing and few light tasks, yeah it will work well for you. but if you need it for heavy use or some developing, i suggest no. you could go if with the vivobooks,only if you dont care about the transforming thingy. i have a X202E and a vivotab and both run awesome. i really suggest the X202e-DH31T, its super fast to me and has pretty much decent specs. the vivotab is also awesome, but the atom processor really slows it down, the same goes for the t100.

Hey guys, I am currently running win7 and I want to dualboot with Ubuntu 12.04 , I have a blank 42 gb primary partition on which I want to do that..

it's a better idea to click "something else" when ubuntu asks where to install.

you'll get an overview of your partitions.

i recommend to create a 15 gb partition for "/" (root) and 25 gb for "/home" then use the rest for a "swap" partition.

I use a swap image on the root partition rather than make a separate partition just for swap. I guess the advantage being you can resize or move it at anytime.

I have an issue too. I had installed ubuntu 13.10 and had a 4gb swap (didnt create, it was by default) then I switched to win8 and 12.04 (dual boot) now the 4gb space can't be merged or deleted or extended. And even it doesnt use as swap for ubuntu. I tried disk management tool of win8 and on right clicking it says just delete partition which says it will b deleted permanently... Did I end up getting a huge bad block of 4gb :confused:
[Off-topic] matgras:
You actually shouldn't delete it,

The swap space is for stability when the pc runs out if free ram.

You can however change the "swappiness" so it gets less used.

I haz a problem with my HP Compaq d530 SFF.

I have rebuilt the computer with a new processor (The original one died, the new one being the less-powerful Pentium IV running at a whopping 2.66GHz) and now the system won't boot. I have it running "bare bones" with literally just the CPU, cooler, 256MB of 2.5GB my nVidia GeForce 6200 with 512MB VRAM and the power supply.

Here's the problem:

When I switch it on, it turns on for a few seconds, then dies with a red blinking LED indicating that the CPU cooler isn't connected.

They aren't bad, but they aren't great either. Sure, for web browsing and battery life, they're quite great. Especially the new Acer. I'd personally avoid the HPs like the plague. The new Acer with 4gb of ram and haswell is an excellent choice. Plus, it gives you more options... Like Linux at some point. Arm-based Linux lacks quite a bit of what you can get from x86/64 architecture.

Overall, its not a bad deal for the price so long as you don't plan on gaming or compiling on it.
[Off-topic] replica9000:
So is 12.04 using any swap partition? If you have only that one 4gb swap partition, and Ubuntu isn't using it, it either because it's not formatted to be used as swap, or it's not listed correctly (or at all) in fstab to be used as swap (although that could be automatic these days).

Ah, the ridiculousness of Windows.... :silly:

I had a file called Skylight that had no extension, was 7MB and could not be moved, copied, deleted, renamed or anything else. :confused:

(I know where it came from, wasn't a virus. Just a Windows bug.)

I've tried most options: Reboot, refresh, all the DOS commands, Safe mode, MalwareBytes, filekiller, regcleaners, check disk... Anything except wiping the drive or overly complicated. I've tried adding a similarly named file, but that didn't work either.

In the end what worked is opening 7Zip, browsing to the file and renaming it there by adding an extension. Then I could delete it.

:silly: How ridiculous can it get? Apparently this has been an issue since 95... And 7zip, a free program, works? Lol! :laugh:

So if anyone runs into the same issue, there you have it. ;)

If it didn't work with Linux, I'm assuming that either Windows did something to the file, or, it was a corrupt file.

- Amp Milk
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
Both. From what I found on the net, Windows has been doing this since at least XP. (I'm guessing people just didn't have internet before that.) Windows corrupts the file and then you can't access it. You can't even take ownership of it, it's just blank, and Windows thinks it doesn't exist. (I was working in the actual administrator account, unlocked via DOScommand. I always work in that, as games work better that way and it was what we have always done before Vista)

The file used to be intact, as I've been using it as the background in an Indesign document several times.

Oh well. 7zip worked, it's much less of a hassle than formatting the drive.
[Off-topic] replica9000:
