I run Crysis at very high settings in 1080p on my old computer : 2gb ram, 8800gt and vista ultimate.

It's all about rumors. There is only 24% of Windows users who use Vista and we could safely say that 5% of it know what it is. Microsoft even proved it in a test that, just by changing the skin and calling it mojave, people said it was faster. Everybody that I know love Vista because they tested it personnally and was well inform by people like me who pass days just to know how this stuff work.

How much? $500? $600?

That tablet form factor has never worked for business nor education. Why insist on it with this?

I'd rather see a $100 Laptop using a basic ARM processor, sunlight readable OLPC-screen, WiFi Mesh and also Cellular internet. And then provide a separate pocket sized $200-max e-ink based E-book with a wacom touch-screen, low-power WiFi Mesh and cellular. Children can hardly read digital books on a laptop or such big tablet form factor.

looks kindof cheap

Even though it may look ugly, and some may find it to be somewhat expensive, My High school provides these laptops for Freshman-Seniors. It is good, no more notebooks, and the heavy textbooks are turned into E-Books.

this is intel's attempt to kill the OLPC which instead ushered upon us the well known class of "netbooks" if it were not for cooperate greed, i wouldn't have my netbook >: P ultiatly i would prefer my netbook to have at least a core solo. Fun fact: 90% of the atom's processor issues are adobe's fault.
