It won't matter either way, because no one will buy it. The keyboard layout is just as messed up as the old model (are we STILL not sure how to do a proper right-shift key?), and I'm sure that it will be similarly overpriced. The last Neutrino was almost $300 with no RAM, no HD, and no OS. Not a great deal when you get get a fully-equipped Windows netbook for $350.

Hopefully a proper manufacturer will pair Ion with a Z-series Atom chip. Ion uses more power than Intel's GPU, so you have to offset that somehow if you want decent battery-life. And you have to provide the whole package for less than $400, or else it's not worth the premium. ]]>Jun 2nd 2009 12:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/ocz-intros-17-inch-diy-laptop-ion-based-htpc-neutrino-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/ocz-intros-17-inch-diy-laptop-ion-based-htpc-neutrino-netbook/Jun 2nd 2009 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/ocz-intros-17-inch-diy-laptop-ion-based-htpc-neutrino-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/ocz-intros-17-inch-diy-laptop-ion-based-htpc-neutrino-netbook/Jun 2nd 2009 4:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/ocz-intros-17-inch-diy-laptop-ion-based-htpc-neutrino-netbook/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/02/ocz-intros-17-inch-diy-laptop-ion-based-htpc-neutrino-netbook/Jun 2nd 2009 11:53AM
