Dell working on Linux powered smartbooks
Linux is becoming a popular operating system for low cost laptops popularly known as netbooks.
Dell is one company which has been offering Linux powered netbooks in the international markets.
The company is now working on smartbook models as well and these would also be powered by Linux OS.
Smartbooks are powered with cheaper ARM processors. The company has not confirmed when such a model could be available on sale in the market.
Qualcomm and Freescale are two companies which are already developing ARM processors that can be used on netbook alternatives.
Most netbook models in the market are powered with Intel Atom processors. Using ARM processors could further lower the costing of these devices.
