Hopefully the new Atom and Isaiah processors will help some, but I would never expect one of these cheap tiny laptops to do everything you can do with a more expensive machine. Or you know, a desktop that costs about the same price.

And since I am connected to the net there is always an antivirus/firewall and adware shield on the guard...I am afraid that the VIA won't make it. On the other ASus 900 has only 4gb for OS and softwart. That's big limitation. Very poor battery and small keyboard. Does not seem ideal although it has better processor. So I am stuck in the middle waiting for the MSI to give me the solution I am looking for.
