Ahh! You've made me both happy and sad at the same time. Happy that I opted for a microatx and core2duo as my htpc vs. atom330 solution, which I had been waiting for for a while until impulse and impatience won. Sad because I've been waiting for an atom330+ion netbook because I figured that could handle anything my ati3200+turion x2 rm-72 6 lb laptop can - but apparently that's not the case. :(]]>Sep 24th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Though Adobe has promised an update to flash that would enable hardware acceleration for video, it's not expected until "the first half of next year."]]>Sep 24th 2009 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/

That said, I'm going to hold out for Samsung and Lenovo's models, as well as the Win7 launch. I expect to see the prices come down a bit with more variety.

and please don't bring up gaming because don't tell me you're honestly going game on an 11" screen. and even so, the 4500MHD can play most games perfectly fine up until you reach Half-Life 2 graphic levels.

also, the Mini 311 can't even play HD Flash content because it's not GPU accelerated. you'll be constantly bottlenecked at the weak Atom CPU.

if they had a CULV + ION... that'd be a different story... but i personally thing that the Acer 1410 is a MUCH more well rounded system.]]>Sep 24th 2009 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/
Because the 4500 is doing it's processing at the cost of CPU performance, which is what these netbooks lack the most. No one is really buying them for gaming, but since Vista and Windows 7 are much more hardware accelerated, buying anything that has cheap Intel graphics is like showing up to an Indy 500 race in a 1986 Ford Taurus expecting to win.]]>Sep 24th 2009 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://whattowhen.com/page/4/]]>Sep 24th 2009 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/hps-ion-infused-mini-311-netbook-now-on-sale-starts-at-400/Sep 24th 2009 3:38PM
