Ubuntu starts in less than a minute too.

Startup time has much more to do with your hard drive speed, so quit complaining about Atom which is fast enough for most everyone. Better battery life is in greater demand by the general public than is performance.]]>Dec 30th 2009 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/
The solution, IMO, is SSDs replacing HDDs, which should start happening widely in 2010 and 2011. By 2012, I hope that spinning magnetic platters are rarely found in consumer-grade portable computers. But then I'm a member of that same geek segment who wants better battery life. ;-)]]>Dec 30th 2009 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/I don't think so. Netbook sales keep increase at huge rates (did I read something like up 100% last year?). Also, the people that are buying netbook-sized computers are looking for portability and not power. Portability and power life go hand in hand for most people, as carrying around a power brick is cumbersome.

For this form factor, 9-11" screens, having HD playback capabilities is pretty much all you need (but really only if the computer has HDMI out). That can easily be added by that Broadcom (sp?) chip.

Obviously, I think this was a good move for Intel. ]]>Dec 30th 2009 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/http://bit.ly/asus-eee-pc-1001p-details]]>Jan 1st 2010 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/Dec 30th 2009 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/

Besides, if someone truly needs or wants to wipe the HDD clean and load XP, they're free to do so. But for a brand new machine, let XP die already and get Windows 7 on these things!]]>Dec 30th 2009 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/Dec 30th 2009 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/asus-eee-pc-1001p-with-atom-n450-appears-on-amazon-de/Jan 2nd 2010 10:01PM
