The pokey little VIA processor isn't really fast enough to keep up though. I kind of wish that HP has put a lower res webcam in this model, because you can actual record smoother video/make cleaner video calls with the Asus Eee PC's 0.3MP webcam than you can with the Mini-Note's.

I'm in contact with one of the key developers for X drivers for VIA chipsets (VIA's most infamous detractor - libv) and aware of the horrors he has to go through in order to get anything functional (VIA's 'support' in this area mainly consisting of random and sporadic drops of binary, not source code, which he then has to painstakingly reverse engineer in order to get something functional). Unless we get a tide of users harassing VIA for proper Linux support, they'll just continue their usual strategy of giving insincere support and then astroturfing like mad to pretend they're 110% behind Linux.<br><br>(Sorry if I sound like a FUD merchant.

I read somewhere that it gets quite hot. Could you compare the temperature with EEE? (I currently have an EEE so it will be helpful). I'm planning to buy an HP too.

It's hard to say whether it's warmer than the Eee PC, but I'd say it's comparable. It does get rather warm. It’s hard to say whether it’s warmer than the Eee PC, but I’d say it’s comparable.

So I might try it out when I install Windows XP so I can wirelessly sync my PDA. I don’t have that much need for Bluetooth, but I do have a USB Bluetooth dongle lying around somewhere.
