I'd rather stay with 15" lappies... that way I don't need the backspace button as much as I need on a netbook...

Nothing above matters, The important thing here is that we are now going away from HORRIBLE graphic support on devices, seems like they're going away from it.

I just hope intel IGP is going out and dies forever, im sure, if i ever gotta use a intel igp laptop again, ima gonna have nightmares :S

But back to the box itself, linux, wouldnt be a issue if its A64 clock for clock. is it ? doubt.

Via nano dualcore + 780G or GF 9400 is the key ! not ATOM.

Amd Neo is my suggestions to all of you guys who complain about the net-tops, or mini-notebook, or whatever they want to call them.

Im 180 CM tall, 70 kilograms, pretty skinny, but after i had to set up EEE's to a firm, that was one day barely touching them, still had to fix my neck and everything after, and almost got anger issues cause of the slowness of those boxes.

Neo is still slow, but its miles away from Atom slowness, and it feats a good enough graphics card for its size.

those come with 12-13 " displays and are rather small, but sitting on 9" is a nightmare, and looking at powerconsumtion, powerfull laptops: 95W
EEE Pc ~50W.

Wait, what? quadcore laptop with SLI/CF setup uses 45 W more... hmm ? battery capacity rumour about EEE is also false, i couldnt have it on longer than 4 hours, which i also did on a laptop rated 75 W 4 years ago. while playing flash which consumes power.


I see nothing special in mini laptops, other than their improved mobility.

Intel got chips thats good, but they aint in a nice platform that suits us i personally think.
The atom series isnt something im impressed by, they got the worst effeciency compared to both AMD and VIA, why not made the chip to run 2W hotter, dev a colder chipset, and voila lower power consumtion with 30% more performance straight away, noo, too hard :p

eeepc with an LCD on high doesn't even come close to using 50W

the system uses 12w with the LCD on normal and the unit plugged just into the wall (no battery) charging the unit from 1 bar of battery bumps it up to 21w.

I bet you can play stuff like WCIII, old SC,Diablo II, COD, Quake III, and other older games just fine.
I got my wife a Acer One for Christmas and I have SC and Diablo II on it working fine.

Having owned two Netbooks so far, the bare minimum size for me to feel comfortable is those 10 inch screen-size netbooks.

My first one was the first generation ASUS eeepc with 7 inch screen. It was painfully small for me to type comfortably. The one I currently use is Acer 10 inch screen one. I feel comfortable with its keyboard size. Screen could be a little bigger, but I am not expecting too much.

I can tell that it gets slow sometimes though by just using its basic functions such as web browsing and loading Powerpoint slides. If Atom struggles with it, I can guess that ARM based platform is going to struggle even more ...

hmmm..i agrre with you PP, but this is not an article about PDA`s..it is an article about a poory executed parody of a netbook...i started with smartphones with a nokia 9000 communicator running geos 3.1, ive had a few xscale and arm based pocket PC`s and also played with some palms for a while..i despise the clunky n series symbian os it isnt intuative...i gave up on all things pda a while back and sport a SonyEricsson K850i...sure the pda market could use some innovation but Nvidia doesnt deserve a role in that market at all..and i find boasts about 1080p decoding for a pda rather uncalled for anyhow..these devices all dock and sink so conversion should be handled by your main pig anyhow..and i find it rather lame watching anything on a smartphone/pda anyway.....maybe a 25min t.v episode but an hour and a half movie peering at a pda screen is a poor idea

The whole point of my post was negating what you had said as Nvidia fail. The Tegra was originaly desinged for smaller mobile devices, doing more while using less power. I wasnt talking about this netbook crap at all. My idea there is if you want a laptop get a laptop.

if they make a 10" to 12" version in the $200 range I will buy one. as long as it is not intel I am ok with it.

Of course the CPU is weak and not compatible with today's demanding games and so on. But! This is just the first step. If NVIDIA will succed with the small form factor Tegra, then when the time has come it will be no trouble to implement an x86 compatible CPU into this platform. Currently everyone looking for small cost efficient systems to just surf the web or to use it for multimedia demands. This is absolutely their answer, a system that can run without battery charge for a dozen of hours. Indeed the ION platform is somewhat more usefull with it's x86 support, but it is not a mobile platform!
