The C710's advantage is that RAM can be added and it takes a normal 2.5 SATA device (7mm, but still). The C720 has a faster processor, but RAM (2G) is soldered in, there are no sockets, and the SSD is the newer M.2 form factor. It already has SeaBIOS, though. While searching, I saw information that Debian could be used on these, or at least be booted. There is also a Youtube video showing Windows 7 running on one of these machines. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
