The Kogan Agora is a netbook that was designed by committee. And when I say committee, I mean the Australian company built the netbook based on specifications requested by potential customers. The end result is a pretty standard looking netbook which ships with gOS Linux (which is based on Ubuntu) and which comes with a choice of batteries and up to 2GB of RAM. At launch, the Kogan Agora was reasonably cheap at $499 Australian. But now it looks like Kogan has dropped the price to as low as $399 Australian, or about $336 US.
The base price will get you a netbook with 1GB of RAM and a 3 cell battery. For $439 Australian, or about $369 US, you get 2GB of RAM and a 6 cell battery. Both models have a 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixel display, 1.3MP webcam, 802.11b/g WiFi, 3 USB ports, a VGA port, headphone and microphone jacks, and a flash card reader. The laptop measures 10.4″ x 7.3″ x 1.2″ and weighs 2.6 pounds with a 3 cell battery and 3.1 pounds with a 6 cell.
