The thought of something like my awesome Mini 9 with longer battery life using it's existing battery and a smidge more performance isn't a bad thing.

Not a bad thing at all.]]>Oct 28th 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/28/via-teams-with-microsoft-to-drive-low-cost-netbooks-in-global-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/28/via-teams-with-microsoft-to-drive-low-cost-netbooks-in-global-ma/
I suppose the Nvidia platform in the new Macbook, and soon to be in HP, Dell etc is there move isn't it?

@Strider_mt2k: I think that i read the other day about intel's second generation Atom line which only uses 2Watts TDP (Moorestown?). I think this is intels attempt and getting power usage down down down.

I wonder if Intel continues to dominate the CPU market with their Intel Atom and Intel Moorestown CPU in 2009, then will Intel control the Netbook market.

I believe the CPU industry should always have 2-3 players Globally, this gives fair play in creating more dynamic products.

If it loses either, I'd just go with a cheaper alternative.]]>Oct 28th 2008 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/28/via-teams-with-microsoft-to-drive-low-cost-netbooks-in-global-ma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/28/via-teams-with-microsoft-to-drive-low-cost-netbooks-in-global-ma/Oct 28th 2008 1:48PM
