The C7 basically is inferior to the Atom in all respects, the C7 in the HP Mini-Note gives mediocre battery life, very poor performance and lots of heat, it is not a good netbook processor. The Via Nano, we have to see.]]>Nov 28th 2008 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/Nov 28th 2008 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/Nov 28th 2008 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/
Yeah, I know the UI would be tiny, but 1024*xxx just isn't enough to do anything useful in. Frankly 1280*xxx feels cramped a lot of the time...]]>Nov 28th 2008 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/Nov 28th 2008 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/
Without virtual desktops, it does feel cramped. But virtual desktops are a very nice solution. There's no need for more resolution.

Yes, I remember the VGA days, but: With the computers of back then, you were not multitasking nearly as much as you're doing now. 1280x800 is HUGE if you're only doing one thing. But that's rarely the case nowadays]]>Nov 28th 2008 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/
Im still only on a 1024x768 monitor, and only got a hand me down LCD a few months ago. And this is my main PC.

The plus side to that is, my 8600GT is able to run Crysis on full spec, since its a low res. ]]>Nov 28th 2008 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/Nov 28th 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/Nov 28th 2008 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/Nov 28th 2008 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/Nov 28th 2008 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/Nov 29th 2008 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/Nov 29th 2008 1:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfaNCRAFuek


And the specs on the 2 models are so damn similar. The processor makes it interesting, but screen resolution was always the biggest concern, no? Intel Atom 270 netbooks ran at a decent speed anyways.]]>Nov 29th 2008 4:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/
This device has it all, Bluetooth, draft-n, 10" screen and an acceptable weight (1.1kg) even with a 6-cell battery!!! Take that Asus and Acer. :)

I'll probably won't go for SSD as I hear negative remarks about the access times of those thingies. 1024x600 is good enough. 1280x800 on a 10" screen would make reading impossible. It may look nice'n neat at first sight but it will become tiresome pretty soon.]]>Nov 29th 2008 5:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/28/msi-unveils-a-slew-of-new-netbooks-and-one-lonely-nettop/Nov 29th 2008 7:33AM
