First look: Kogan Agora Pro

Rating: 10

The Australian-owned Kogan Agora is among the first netbooks on the market that comes out of the box with gOS, an Ubuntu-based Linux operating system that has the look and feel of Mac OS X. You get a dock, a set of freely movable widgets, and even windows that resemble Mac OS X.

Kogan Agora Netbook

Rating: 6.3

The Agora Netbook looks like a winner and may just upset the other players in the game thanks to its good build quality at a great price. If users want to install Windows they`ll have to foot the cost themselves — and in this area, the big brands may have a bundling advantage — but at the current time, for the tech savvy this looks like a great buy.
