I got the Sylvania Netbook as a gift, and it just so happens to be absolutely terrible. It's worse than you can imagine really. There's only 2 GB of flash memory, literally no RAM, It runs Windows CE and is pretty slim on everything else. It's slow, It does nothing a computer should do, and feels like the world's greatest hackjob.
This is actually a pretty excellent assessment for the device.
However, It was a gift, I'm super poor, and the netbook itself looks pretty awesome.
I realize that If I merely upgrade the motherboard to anything made in the last 5 years, I'll be able to change the OS and install all the stuff I want to use for it on an external HDD. Since it's small, I can get a 120$ Mini-ITX motherboard and be on my way.
The issue I'm having, however, is pretty much equivalent to semantics - It's not a computer, it's a netbook.
There are 2 USB ports on the right side and 1 on the back of the device (with an ethernet port and "9VDC power port" alongside it), and an SD port on the left side.
I need a motherboard to conform to that 100% or else I'll have a fully functional motherboard that just won't fit. (And that's the least of my problems, actually.)
Can I get someone to modify an ITX form factor MoBo for my Netbook?
