The point AMD is trying to make is ATOM Netbooks are severly constrained and can run only XP, whereas AMD mini-notebooks can give customers the full experiece.

I have several netbooks & umpcs but i'm not satisfied with the performance. For now i'll just have to wait. sigh If they could put an AMD Turion Neo X2 Dual-Core on this netbook or a (10″ netbook) I'll definitely buy it.

I agree they could own this market if they would just create a product: dual core, no stupid arbitrary limits on clock speed and performance to protect notebook margins, fully modern chipset and integrated ATI graphics. Intel gives us crap chipsets that underperform while drawing too much power and providing sucktastic graphics. Most people aren't going to shell out $500+ for what is still a dinky little netbook just to have nVidia ION. If AMD would deliver instead of exhaling BS about how nobody wants netbooks, it would be like, Atom who? AMD's response (or lack thereof) toward netbooks has been completely asinine.

It was hard to tell how sluggish it was. VISTA is much more resource intensive so I would guess that maybe why. IE loaded normally (as it would on my ASUS 1000h) and navigating the desktop seemed similar. The screen and keyboard make this a much better netbook IMO. I have read complaints about Skype and sluggishness on flash. I think this is a great netbook for the price. Battery life may be the one significant difference.

Looks like some people who are dismissing this netbook are doing it after a short while playing with it at Best Buy.

Everyone knows that Intel's graphics chipsets are crap, and the Ion is supposedly too expensive for the price sensitive netbook market. ATi could just completely steal the netbook market away from Intel.
