It's not using the atom but going a regular route, 12.1 might be TOO big to be considered a netbook, but it looks like it slots right in between Netbook/Laptop.

If it can possibly beat or equal the $600 wanted for the 10" that are out there I get yet ANOTHER system to drool at for a while (Of course Vista HAS to go (though a total of 3G??)]]>Sep 9th 2008 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/
and before you scream unreasonable price, this is not trying to be a netbook, it is a ultra-lite laptop designed for mobile professionals - 'Road warriors'

and if that is too expensive for somebody who doesn't need it to buy it for fun, who cares? IT IS NOT NETBOOK.]]>Sep 9th 2008 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/Sep 9th 2008 4:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/Sep 9th 2008 5:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/

On that note, lightweight laptops with decent battery life and >10" screens have been available for years in Japan and through sites like dynamism.com. It's just that they've always cost big bucks.

This is just another reminder that Netbooks don't offer anything technologically innovative or new other than being small, lightweight, *and* cheap (and in some cases coming with Linux out of the box). They're hyped up because they're a good deal for people who don't mind the smaller screens, slower CPUs, and worse battery life (in the 3-4 cell models).

BTW, I'm writing this on my AA1.]]>Sep 9th 2008 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/Sep 9th 2008 9:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/Sep 9th 2008 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/]]>Sep 9th 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/
Damned impressive specs, though, for sure.]]>Sep 9th 2008 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/
My Toshiba Portege R500 is lighter by 0.19 lbs and is equivalent in terms of specs, performance. And I cut a piece of a balsa ruler to use as keyboard support on the inside and it eliminated the flex entirely! I'm very happy with the Portege and I would say anyone who is a professional in need of a strong, full-featured computer should look no further than these Portege R500s and the Dynabooks, each by Toshiba. They have features, power, and most importantly, you can lose them in a 1.5-inch zipper binder. As an educator, it's massively important to have a computer with tons of battery life in a binder with all my student work rather than carrying a large heavy bag separately for the computer. It's the only way to go.]]>Sep 9th 2008 4:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/09/toshibas-dynabook-ss-rx2-12-5-hour-battery-and-still-worlds-l/WHY CHANGE THE KEYPAD SETTING WHEN IT WAS LIKE PERFECT
