It’s “like a Chromebook for Linux users on a budget,” reports ZDNet. The new 2.9-pound Litebook uses Intel’s Celeron N3150 processor and ships with a 14.1-inch display and a 512-gigabyte hard drive with full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080). For $20 more they’ll throw in a 32-gigabyte SSD to speed up your boot time. “Unlike Windows laptops, Litebooks are highly optimized, come without performance hogging bloatware, [are] designed to ensure your privacy, and are entirely free of malware and viruses,” writes the company’s web site. They also add that their new devices “are affordable, customizable, and are backwards compatible with Windows software.”
