My only complaint is that I'd prefer a flush fit 4-cell like the ol' m9, and lets ditch VGA for HDMI (its a smaller port to boot). ]]>Feb 25th 2010 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/Feb 25th 2010 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/What do you mean "even with flash" flash is hardware accelerated... 10.1 at least.

You're not going to get an HDMI out port with the broadcom chip. It doesn't support it and the standard atoms without the ION have the fire power to run it. ]]>Feb 25th 2010 7:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/

Getting rid of the VGA port would immediately eliminate nearly 100% of their business customers, since damn near every meeting room in corporate america has a projector in it that hooks up through VGA.]]>Feb 26th 2010 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/http://bit.ly/hp-mini-210-first-seen]]>Feb 26th 2010 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/Feb 25th 2010 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/

I have used the HDMI on it and I do appreciate having the vga port for connection to a projector.

Though I do have 3 gigs of DDR3 ram in there which probably helps. And its full ION and not LE.]]>Feb 25th 2010 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/
Really?

Isn't the power of the GPU bottlenecked by the CPU? And that means that pairing an Atom and a 9400M produces good but not great results?

I think something like this would be more powerful (all-around, graphics 'n' all) when pitted against an Ion machine:

My SU2300+4500MHD plays 1080P MPEG4/MKV perfect and can even play 1080P Youtube in a watchable statate (15-24 FPS).

I decided to get the Eee PC 1201n, yea sure for a little more I could of got a CULV notebook, but not with a decent graphics card.

Theres a few netbooks out there with 2 pci-e slots. And with the Pinetrail series being all the rage, you can pick up an "older" Diamondville netbook for next to nothing and add the broadcom card yourself.
You can see a list of other netbooks and how many ports they have here:
http://www.netbookreports.com/2010/01/netbooks-with-usable-mini-pci-e-slots/
Also note that you might have to do a little research, while looking like a mini pci-e card, the 3g cards in netbooks are actually usb. You need to look up if the port supports both pci-e and usb. (The D250 for example only supported USB until a later bios update.)]]>Feb 25th 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/25/hp-mini-210-hd-edition-review/

Do I just install the drivers then chuck the card in the slot? Seems about right from what I've researched so far.

Also do you know if the d250 wireless card is a standard mini pcie or one of those stunted things?
