The 3G, slightly bigger screen and higher resolution are really welcome tho! So i'll be one of the first in line to get it when the other problems are fixed.]]>Jun 26th 2009 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1101ha-gets-hands-on-treatment-ahead-of-eu/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1101ha-gets-hands-on-treatment-ahead-of-eu/Jun 26th 2009 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1101ha-gets-hands-on-treatment-ahead-of-eu/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1101ha-gets-hands-on-treatment-ahead-of-eu/Jun 26th 2009 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1101ha-gets-hands-on-treatment-ahead-of-eu/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1101ha-gets-hands-on-treatment-ahead-of-eu/Cole's Note: I think overall size should classify a netbook, not screen size]]>Jun 26th 2009 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1101ha-gets-hands-on-treatment-ahead-of-eu/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1101ha-gets-hands-on-treatment-ahead-of-eu/Honestly it would make way more sense if the differentiation should between "Gaming laptops" and "Work laptops".
For the common user having a Core2 Duo 2.0GHz or an Atom 1.66Ghz is the exact same thing, since all they do is browse the web, write documents with MS Office, surf the web and watch videos on Youtube and DivX.
Honestly my 1000H (with 2GB ram using XP SP3 and the useless page-file off since nowadays computers dont have 64~128MB of ram anymore) is able to keep my MSN doing video-chat, an HTTP server with Apache, mySQL and PHP running, have all my editing tools open like Firefox with 6+ tabs open, some of them with videos, Notepad++ and sometimes still watch some 480p series over all that using VLC without any hiccups or crashes at all!
This is nothing else but a market plan to discourage people to buy Atom based computers since the profit margins are not as high.]]>Jun 26th 2009 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1101ha-gets-hands-on-treatment-ahead-of-eu/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/asus-eee-pc-seashell-1101ha-gets-hands-on-treatment-ahead-of-eu/Jun 26th 2009 1:15PM
