@vexedrex555 super mario, the difference is, i have to read your painful and revealing comment, you can just turn down the volume ;)

how do the gigabyte netvertables compare in size to netbooks such as the samsung nc10, Hp mini etc?

[minipcpro]

The NC10 is actually thicker but all around roughly the same size all around.

Would the X version support a WWAN 3g module in its PCI-e slot? Does the G version come with a sim slot, or would I have to purchase a WWAN card that has an onboard sim slot?

[minipcpro]

well it would if it has the right size of course.

yes, there is a simcard slot on the 3G

[fokisondis]

Ok, I purchased the X model on Amazon with the understanding that it would support WWAN. When I called, the rep. told me that the X model doesn't have a sim card slot near the battery like the G model. Is this correct? Would I have to purchase a WWAN card that has a sim slot modded on it?

[minipcpro]

yes, only the G version has the 3G module, sorry i was refering to the 1028G in my previous comment. Hope i didn't cause too much confusion

Don't worry about the WinXP key, there's a million of them on the Internet already and it's a legacy outdated OS anyway. When are you going to review some more Nvidia Ion netbooks running Linux?

[minipcpro]

i agree with you electra. XP keys can be found in seconds...

As soon as we have some more samples of the Nvidia platform, we will review them. I am trying to get some during October

[Pinwormx]

Cool it comes with a case.

[CMDProductionsTM]

I can read the code for the Windows XP Key.. Umm be careful guys,

[Mohamedhp]

I will be very interested in seeing the detailed review :)

[Mohamedhp]

I like your review....but I think its just an OK type of netbook not great..

[xwicked7]

"battery" = "battawee" lol lol

[minipcpro]

aiaiai someone needs to check his speakers i guess :) damn you are one wicked guy, aren't you?

[CMDProductionsTM]

hey man what's up with the mono audio in the beginnning?

[minipcpro]

i guess that's not so cool, right? ^^

[CRAKIZGOOD]
