I first read about the Gdium Liberty netbook last month and I thought that the concept behind it was rather dumb. This netbook has no hard drive but instead it has an external USB drive. The whole point is said to be able to share the netbook between different people with each person having her or his own bootable USB key.

I am not so sold on this Gdium Liberty netbook but the market for these mini computers has shown all of us that we cannot predict what it will be in the mood for or not.
