Motorola CPS

Post by KI4RGV »

There is an electronic store by my house selling these mini laptop computers for $150 dollars. They are not netbooks. They run on Windows CE. Question is, will CPS install and work on this machine? It looks like a great little machine. I think it was designed to be a tool for internet use only but, it does have USB ports.

Below is a link with a photo and some specs:

Thanks for the prompt reply. I looked at the ReadMe file. I was hoping someone had any feedback on giving it a shot. Ohh well. LOL

Guess it's a real netbook I go!

Thank You,
