Why does this dork keep referring to the machine as a netbook? It's not a netbook.

[sxcg]

got it, love it...

THAT's how laptops should be, small (12-14), and good battery life. i dont see the point having a laptop with 2 hours battery. THATS a laptop. after all the cpu doesnt define the speed, this has great chipset, ram and hard drive. dont let the clockspeed of 1.3 GHz foul you, it is still core2duo architecture and runs very good.

THIS IS NOT A NETBOOK!!!! NETBOOKS 7" to 12"

NOTEBOOKS 13" to 17"

@MonkeyG0D1 no, it's asoos. look it up. most americans (i'm an american too) pronounce it a sus

[arztodaycc]

[IndianaKatarn]

@MonkeyG0D1

Nope. Written phonetically it's Pehguhsus.

that was terrible, its a notebook and its pronounced A sus, not asoos

@sxcg Yeah, it's a far cry from Atoms. CULVs are really good processors. imo, that's what netbooks should have been in the first place (or better, the UL20A).

Now with Zacate coming out, netbooks will finally fulfil their potential. HD enabled and proper 3D acceleration, and with a decent multitasking and good screen res. And cheap (eventually).

[basstard013]

got it for £350. Not really a netbook, just a thin and slim notebook.

Weak point is the screen (poor viewing angles), stiff mouse buttons, weird dimple trackpad that takes a while getting used to, and some flex around the edges.

Nonetheless I love it. Huge battery life, good wifi, plays HD videos fine (except I Player HD for some reason), does everything I require from it, and flies with an SSD (old Samsung PB-22J). It's like a netbook+.

Cant wait for the Zacate netbooks to come out as well.
