Ah i see. Well then this netbook seems like a good product for those who want some luxury with their practicality.

check out the Asus UL30Vt. Same as the UL30A except it has switchable discrete graphics. NVidia 210M, Intel GMA 4500HD.

[...] не по теме, но история покупки Eee PC 1201N началась неудачно. Во-первых их пока нет, но магазины [...]

Im tiered of all the people that say the GMA 4500 can handle everything or that the atom 330 is not comparable with a low CULV. So i agree with you completely Someguy

Ah i see. Well then this netbook seems like a good product for those who want some luxury with their practicality. The price point seems reasonable to me. Much cheaper than CULVs with discrete graphics and I can't imagine dual core Atom being that much behind dual core CULV

It would probably turn off compositing in KDE, if you're a Linux user. Not sure how well it fairs with Aero with all the eye candy turned on, as well. Also, titles like Google Earth work much better.

Also, the reviews I read said that it can't do games like Crysis very well, but it can handle less intensive 3D games at a decent enough framerate to make them playable. I've got lots of older titles lying around…

What games is everyone so pumped about playing with the Ion graphics? Benchmarks from HP Ion netbook doesn't really show any playable frame rates in modern games, not even in Half Life 2 Episode 2.

Besides gaming, what exactly can't the 4500MHD do? I think its 1080p video playback capability has been tested and proven multiple times.

I'm with you on this one. I held off on the CULV craze due primarily to the 4500MHD. Crappy Intel IGP is just the death knell for me.

This machine will fill my niche perfectly: a very small, very light, inexpensive computer that can do internets and play HD video without a hitch (and output it via HDMI).

I've been looking for a new knockaround laptop to replace my aging eee PC 900HD. I want a good keyboard without a lot of flex (sorry Acer 1410, your keyboard is too bouncy). I want more than 2 hours of battery life and I want a bigger screen with a higher resolution. I want snappier response when I have lots of Firefox tabs open. I want perfect HD video playback without trouble. I want Windows 7.

The 1201N is practically made for my niche. I'll leave the heavy gaming and other processor-intensive tasks to a primary PC designed for these things.

Ditto man, ditto. I would also like something while cooling my jets between night classes.

Because some of these netbook types don't get that there are plenty of us out there who don't need long battery life, and like to play games. I don't need a $1000 notebook, nor do I feel like spending that much. But, I could use something below $500 to roam around the house and get on the internet and play an occasional game with. I love my desktop for the power, but I would like a little freedom when doing things that don't require the huge power my Core i7 system provides.

How are we getting so much atom flame on a website dedicated to netbooks? This is like the second article today.

I really beg to disagree. I REALLY want a CULV system, but the GMA 4500 graphics kills the entire platform for me, because I NEED graphics acceleration that it CANNOT provide. So I'm stuck either getting a new Congo AMD version of CULV which has both speed and enough acceleration to almost do what I need, a atom+ion, or I'm up into the $800 dollar range to get a thin and light with discrete graphics, and which point I could shell out another 100, and get a macbook, and then I"m back to Ion graphics, an OS I don't really want or need, and a faster processor. ION2 with CULV support may make life VERY interesting. But the new pinetrail atoms have next to NO appeal for me, they are no faster, and although they draw slightly less power, that shouldn't have much affect on overall system lifetime, and the graphics capabilities are GMA500.

This is an interesting device because it's the first 'netbook' that is making a case to people who would otherwise be looking at notebooks, and it's pretty competitive for the cost whatever you want to say about it. There's nothing else in the price range, in that weight class, with the combination of speed and graphics. If I step up to systems that weigh twice as much, I can get what I need, but then I'm in a three fold race between cost/weight/battery life.

This hits a lot of sweet spots.
