It's not like Intel isn't making fantastic CULV chips. Why hate on something that so many people enjoy? I have yet to see a CULV match the battery life, weight and size of a netbook.
@JakeInDC It is not the processor that is slow, but in most cases the harddrive and the OS that make a netbook slow. The Atom processor is more than capable to display any webpage within seconds. With a good SSD, it'll boot your OS even faster than a 3,4 Ghz Quadcore desktop on a 5400/7200rpm harddrive.
It's good enough for the 1024x600 pixels, and for regular webpages, not flash (but then again, even on a 2,4Ghz Core2Duo a flash game can burn 100% CPU!
