I need a 12" lappy to replace my cheap Advent 12", but I need a non Intel card inside! I only really play Trackmania so a dual core ULV or Neo with some graphics would fit the bill. Hopefully I can now find one! Thanks these are exactly what I am after. I need a 12″ lappy to replace my cheap Advent 12″, but I need a non Intel card inside!

Unfortunately there's only so much room on the front page so I had to be
careful when selecting which data to display.

Some people insist long battery life is part of the equation, but my first
Asus Eee PC 701 got about 2-3 hours, tops. I think long battery life has
just been a byproduct of low power processors… and as the demand for
excellent battery life has gotten stronger, we've seen more and more PC
makers up their games on battery life.

But I still think it's size, weight, and price…

The new 11 to 12 inch models would probably still fit the bill except they
do tend to be larger and more expensive than the Atom netbooks that flooded
the market over the past two years, so it makes sense that there should be a
new term to differentiate them. I just don't know what that term should be.
So I'm going with “laptop” for now. :)

That seems to be a great deal. Lenovo currently has them on sale for around $1K. Where did you find an X200s for <$700? That seems to be a great deal.
