Good questions. Hopefully they can answer to them.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/1/10 Gordan Bobic <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gordan@bobich.net" target="_blank">gordan@bobich.net</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
The real question is whether it will:<br>
<br>
1) Correct the issues that made the original largely unusable<br>
without some hacking (e.g. the "0-button mouse":<br>
<a href="http://www.altechnative.net/2011/06/07/genesi-efika-mx-smartbooks-0-button-mouse/" target="_blank">http://www.altechnative.net/<u></u>2011/06/07/genesi-efika-mx-<u></u>smartbooks-0-button-mouse/</a> )<br>
<br>
2) Be an improvement on the Chromebook's spec<br>
(specifically: more RAM and higher res screen than the<br>
Chromebook)<br>
<br>
I loved the original Efika MX Smartbook, but it was thoroughly<br>
overshadowed by the AC100 once the community got the kernel<br>
support for the hardware fully sorted out. Let's hope that the<br>
new model doesn't suffer the same fate even before it's release<br>

Hi, there is a new version of the Efika MX Smartbook that has just<br>
started to be produced by our licensee in Mexico. It will be generally<br>
available in a couple of months. It will be fully hackable, as its<br>
predecessor. Please email us if you have questions. We appreciate the<br>
interest.<br>
<br>
Best regards, R&B<br>

all true, only the keyboard layout is a bit weird though<br>
