Most still have a VGA port and nothing else. Only about 2 or 3 weeks ago have they started coming out with HDMI ports, like this one.

I got the first generation for my gf a year or so ago and its still kicking :) I've only used it a couple of times but its pretty convenient to carry around such a small netbook :) It felt better than the other netbooks i was checking out. Im honestly considering this or the sony netbook as a secondary labtop but i wanna see the reviews first :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[spiky32kobe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 19th 2009 4:58AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lenovo IdeaPad S12 gets ION powerup on October 22 in Japan]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/lenovo-ideapad-s12-gets-ion-powerup-on-october-22-in-japan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/lenovo-ideapad-s12-gets-ion-powerup-on-october-22-in-japan/</guid><description><![CDATA[How do manufacturers justify charging twice the price for a little bump in graphics and HDD capacity?

The Nivida Ion has been hyped for so long (they decided to coincide its release to netbooks with the release of Win7) that netbook manufacturers believe they can charge an arm and a leg for their Ion systems. Well, I have news for them. Any netbook hitting a price mark over $550 nearly puts consumers in the Ultra-Portable realm. And at 12", adding another inch and spending another $100-$300 gets you a full blown Core2Duo with the same, and in most cases better, graphics. It is just me or is this a no brainer? <br><br>I really wanted an Ion netbook, but I have always been one of those who said they wouldn't be overspending to get one. Netbooks are just borderline fast enough for what I need with the Ion in them, and unfortunately the 200-300 more dollars spent to get a Core2Duo Ultra-Portable is more than justified for me.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Conceyted]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 19th 2009 8:28AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lenovo IdeaPad S12 gets ION powerup on October 22 in Japan]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/lenovo-ideapad-s12-gets-ion-powerup-on-october-22-in-japan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/lenovo-ideapad-s12-gets-ion-powerup-on-october-22-in-japan/</guid><description><![CDATA[It needs a nipple.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[NippleLover]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 19th 2009 6:00AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lenovo IdeaPad S12 gets ION powerup on October 22 in Japan]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/lenovo-ideapad-s12-gets-ion-powerup-on-october-22-in-japan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/lenovo-ideapad-s12-gets-ion-powerup-on-october-22-in-japan/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's not a Thinkbook.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zane]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 19th 2009 6:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lenovo IdeaPad S12 gets ION powerup on October 22 in Japan]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/lenovo-ideapad-s12-gets-ion-powerup-on-october-22-in-japan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/lenovo-ideapad-s12-gets-ion-powerup-on-october-22-in-japan/</guid><description><![CDATA[That's why it needs one.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[NippleLover]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 19th 2009 9:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Lenovo IdeaPad S12 gets ION powerup on October 22 in Japan]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/lenovo-ideapad-s12-gets-ion-powerup-on-october-22-in-japan/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/lenovo-ideapad-s12-gets-ion-powerup-on-october-22-in-japan/</guid><description><![CDATA[GIVE US NIPPLES!
