The Kogan Agora Netbook PRO has a widescreen 10.1" LCD, 2GB of RAM, 6-cell battery, and weighs only 1.4kg. Combined with the gOS operating system, it is your perfect internet companion.
At only AU$499, the Kogan Agora Netbook PRO is the cheapest 10" netbook in it's class.* It is the perfect balance of ease of use, portability, features, and value for money.
Powering the Kogan Agora Netbook PRO is gOS, a very aesthetically pleasing, powerful, intuitive, and fast operating system. Combined with the power and great value of our hardware, it brings you one step closer to cloud computing. gOS facilitates easy access to a number of Google™ services as well as a host of easy to use, powerful open source programs.
gOS is a variant of Ubuntu Linux, but the Kogan support team will happily guide you through the process of installing other operating systems. The team has tested several alternatives, all of which worked very well, including Ubuntu Netbook Remix™, KDE4™, Windows XP™, and Windows 7™.
All trademarks are property of their respective owners.
gOS has been praised for being the most beautiful and easiest to use Linux operating system on the market. See below for more details:
Enjoy a desktop full of live, personalised data.
Mozilla Firefox - The world's best open-source web browser.
Open Office - the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more.
3D Window Switcher - special desktop effects make gOS even cooler and more fun to use.
Google Mail and Calendar - easy to use mail and calendar programs that are totally web-based so you can take them anywhere.
WINE 1.0 enables gOS to run Windows software. For example, Google Picasa for Linux runs like it does on Windows thanks to WINE 1.0.

I have installed Windows 7 on mine. With 2G of RAM I can also run a virtual machine or 2 using VMWare Workstation for those times I need Linux, XP or Server 2003. Even with the wireless card turned on and the screen fairly bright I get 3 - 3.5 hours battery life. A $5 cover from a Honk Kong site was all that was needed to complete it. When comparing notebooks remember this one comes with 2G RAM, not 1G, and a 6 cell battery, not a 3 cell. This notebook is excellent value for money.
Bought this as it was the best value netbook at the time. Was initially disappointed as when I typed I would be hitting the touchpad and applications would open and close. Plugged in a normal mouse and disabled the touchpad and now it works a treat. Big fan of gOS as well. Very good value and no further complaints, will buy again!
