At the beginning of the week Ubuntu announced that it will be demonstrating a reworked desktop version of Ubuntu built specifically for a new category of portable notebooks. These affordable UMPC’s are expanding and evolving for the best.

Ryan Paul from Ars Technica did some hands on testing with the latest test build and expressed his thoughts on the current state.

With further development it’s looking to be a great addition to the Ubuntu range.
