Linux PC retailer ZaReason is putting a 10-inch netbook into the market, known as the Terra A20. It's got the standard lineup of an Atom N270 CPU, 1 GB of RAM, 1024 x 600 pixels, and a 160 GB hard drive, but distinguishes itself from the competition with some configuration selections you can't find elsewhere.
The ZaReason Terra A20 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM or add a WCDMA 3G module for an extra fee. Other options include a wide variety of storage drives such as 5,400 RPM hard disk drives in 160 GB, 320 GB or 500 GB, a 7,200 RPM drive in 160 GB or 320 GB, or solid-state drives in 16 GB, 80GB, or 160 GB.
The best HDD will bring the $349 netbook to a full $599, however. It seems unlikely that too many consumers will choose those options but it's still nice to have the door open to do so.
OSes available on the Terra A20 netbook include Ubuntu 9.04, Kubuntu 9.04, and Edubuntu 9.04. You can get the netbook at the same price with no OS installed.
The new machine comes in black or mocha.
