The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

" NSW secondary school students could be issued with $56 million worth of Linux-based laptops as part of Kevin Rudd's digital education revolution."

Wish American schools could do something like this. Digitize a lot of the text books and save on the back pain that too many students face. Those books aren't cheap either, especially when you have to update every couple of years. The laptops would pay for them selves in no time.
