Unless of course light gaming is your thing, in which case i still fail to see why people would consider a netbook for their gaming needs as they will probably be severely disappointed.. ]]>Jan 6th 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/Jan 6th 2010 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/Jan 6th 2010 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-mini-5102-has-optional-handle-and-touchscreen-the-drive-to-s/1#c24467855]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/lol thanks,

Alas, it's a netbook and still less useful than a modern smartphone.]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
A netbook has much more software and better screen real estate than any smartphone could every dream to. Has an easier to use keyboard and trackpad and doesnt nickle and dime you for any useful application.]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/ 1024x600, I'll consider them useful. But I've owned three netbooks and sold every one of them within a month because they feel like a toy. There's a handful of models with 1366x768 panels, but then they're kinda considered ultraportables.

Once ULV laptops become popular, I expect netbook sales to drop dramatically. Look at the Vostro V13... totally redesigning the wheel. The entire portable game is about to change as vendors unveil new products at CES.]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
Check the new mini 10 from dell, it has a 1366x768 if you get the broadcom hd chip. I think they were mainly dropping the resolution because the Atom couldnt handle the higher resolutions without stutter when playing videos (specifically youtube/flash).

I am seeing more and more of these netbooks opt to include the broadcom chip now with the N450 proc. It seems they have a semi decent solution now.

I've used and had many 13 inch notebooks, they are too big and bulky that I would never buy another 13 inch notebook again.]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
It's like I'm using it, all is well, then I need to do something the netbook can't handle (Photoshop, burning a CD, etc.)... so I should've gotten out the T400 instead. I see it as paying just a little bit more to get a lot more usability.]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
Check here:
http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/notebooks/inspiron-1012/pd.aspx?refid=inspiron-1012&s=dhs&cs=19

It's the new Inspiron Mini 10, there is an older Mini 10 on their website too. They just released this one today.

The one on their website currently doesn't allow you to buy with the broadcom hd video chip (to get higher resolution), so wait a few days when they add it in.]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
I would put money down on this laptop RIGHT NOW if it just had a friggen Atom 330 and not this useless single core crap. I don't care if it i has ION, or integrated intel. I just want a damn dual core.

Seriously, I'd rather carry around a power adapter than a crappy processor.

That's just me, anyway.
Whatever.]]>Jan 6th 2010 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
I agree, I haven't seen a netbook with the 330 in it. Hell give me a netbook with a core2duo in it.]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
I understand that the netbooks are supposed to be very low in power consumption, with the Atom 330 being somewhere around 6.5 watts and the N450 like 3.5 or whatever, but I'd much rather have a dual core, atom or not.

Anyone know if the N450's are supported in OSX anyway? Dual boot would be fantastic.]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
I'd buy the 2101 in a heartbeat if it had Ion 2. Alas... hopefully we'll hear more at CES, though.]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
I think the benchmarks for something like this should all be done in win7 starter with a minimal install and with synthetic benchmarks that don't tax the GPU or video processing hardware.

But whatever, still want dual core!

Dual core, do more! (or something like that).]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
I also want ION because flash video on these netbooks are horrible when using Atom only. But apparently these netbook manufacturers are starting to include the Broadcom HD video accelerator chip allows you to watch 1080p hd video without stutter.

Ion 2 is going to take some time before it will work with these new N450 chips. I'd expect it sometime in second quarter of near summer of this year before we get N450 and Ion2 netbooks.]]>Jan 6th 2010 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/Jan 6th 2010 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/Jan 6th 2010 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/Jan 6th 2010 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/Jan 6th 2010 1:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
It's a pitty, since these new HP netbooks look terrific in other specs. I will pass, waiting for another 10-12 months for the next gen...]]>Jan 6th 2010 4:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
I have the 311 and it runs great! I play WoW and even Lord of the Rings Online on it....gotta love that ION chipset.]]>Jan 6th 2010 7:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-goes-netbooks-with-mini-2101-210-and-compaq-201/
