Netbooks, as initially envisioned, was supposed to be for kids. It was primarily designed for young ones with its smaller keyboard and screen. System76 sticks to that game plan and is planning to out the 10″ Starling EduBook this May.

This company previously introduced the Starling NetBook last year, an Ubuntu-packing device. The EduBook will also be carrying Ubuntu but the Educational version. The latter is a rebrand of Intel’s famous Classmate PC. Grab it for just US$399.

It didn’t take System76, a company well known for being a staunch supporter of Linux OS to come up with their netbook that is so special because of the fact that it comes preloaded with the recently released Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix.  The netbook is called Starling Netbook. So, if you’ve been wanting to have Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix on your netbook but doesn’t have the courage to install it on your own, you might as well buy this netbook instead.

Specs-wise, Starling Netbook can pretty much compete with netbooks available in the market today. It’s got your usual 10.1-inch LED widescreen LCD, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, WiFi, webcam, 6-cell battery and an almost full size keyboard. The Starling Netbook weighs 2.6 lb.

The Starling Netbook is available now at the System76 website. It will set you back for $359. Not bad, considering that it saves you the trouble of downloading Ubuntu 9.04 and making USB bootable drive to install it on your netbook.
