2. Hardware

2.1. Summary

The Acer 361EVi laptop comes with:

2.2. Bundled Software

The laptop comes with Windows XP Professional (with both a set of two recovery CDs, and a system CD), and also OEM versions of Norton AntiVirus and Intel LanDesk Client Manager, and apparently PowerDVD player as well. I assume that these work with the laptop. I bought the laptop to run Linux (after extensive research), and booted straight into the Linux installer the first time I powered the machine on, removing the pre-installed software. When I need Windows software (rarely; for some development and testing) I use VMWare.

2.3. lspci -v output

This output was taken with the PCI IDS from pciids.sourceforge.net on 2003/10/12. Not all of the devices are properly recognised yet, and given that the laptop has been out a year I suspect never will be unless I am able to identify them.
