On a related note, does anyone have any experience of the laptops sold by
Novatech? I'm considering whether to use them for a no-OS installed laptop to
put Linux on, so if anyone knows of hardware issues with any current ones, or
build quality issues - or perhaps how easy it is to get replacement batteries
for them when the time comes.
