Wow, it's a joke...

I'm only saying that because laptops now are awesome in 17" flavors... Possibly 15" flavors... But not many people care for an 11" "laptop." It will be nice when these $2,000 notebooks can fit in our pockets, but until then, we have some nice full-sized laptops...]]>Aug 5th 2010 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/

The same guy saying no netbook is worth $450 Spent $300 on a pair of headphones.

Um, Joanna, aren't these pretty widely known as "Ultralight Notebooks."

Notbooks doesn't define anything and is too close to netbooks.]]>Aug 5th 2010 2:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/

Hot pink isn't for me, but I actually really do like really vibrant bright colors when it comes to these mini-laptops/netbooks.

I'd take a blazing lime green! ]]>Aug 5th 2010 2:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/
I totally agree.


First, playing Eminem music, and now watching "California Girls" music video on these review models...

I did not take points off of Joanna for having bad taste in music.]]>Aug 5th 2010 2:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/
I'd never spend $300 on a pair of headphones not worth half that. These were a gift. I wear them to look like an asshole.

Other than that I love to use my Sony MDR-EX300's instead.]]>Aug 5th 2010 3:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/lol @ california girls ]]>Aug 5th 2010 5:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/Aug 5th 2010 7:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/
OR some of us can afford it just fine, thank you, but still think it's a waste of money. Spending extravagantly doesn't make you a better or more discerning person.

"notbooks"

Well now, you guys have truly scared me shitless. What about the Envy 14? Although I'm not planning on buying it, do you think that HP has the potential to make a quality product?

I guess I'll just go with this Dell then! I'm delving into an unknown territory.
Thanks for the input :D]]>Aug 5th 2010 1:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/
There is some truth and some bogus information there.

Statistics show that HP has one of the highest failure rates. Statistics ALSO show though that ultra-budget systems have an unusually high failure rate compared to premium models.

As an IT manager, I've serviced customers that were exclusively on HPs and Dells, and neither had an unusually high failure rate, but these were the more expensive and robust business notebooks.

HP is the number one volume manufacturer, and its because they make a LOT of netbooks and ultra-budget systems, and these skew the numbers.

So if you're buying a $300-450 system, I believe failures are as high as the twenties. But buying an HP Envy, you're in their premium category where more expensive reliable components are used, with much more attention to detail. ]]>Aug 5th 2010 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/Aug 5th 2010 2:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/

Thanks for your reply!

I agree with some of the comments here.

Get the free version, works great for me.

Great review Joanna, AMD does need to work on their power consumption,. It's good to know that AMD bitch slaps Intel when it comes to HD video playback. ]]>Aug 5th 2010 12:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/i wish they design netbooks more like the Asus 1018p. ]]>Aug 5th 2010 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/Read the article,

My problem with ATi is that they haven't pushed as hard as nVidia regarding accelerated video support from third parties. nVidia actively did so, resulting that this year they became synonymous with "anything video". ATi's h.264 acceleration abilities are good too, but thing is, almost no one supports that API. So yeah, if video was not on the way, that could have been my new laptop. It has everything else I need (Bluetooth, HDMI, HDD, good resolution etc).]]>Aug 5th 2010 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/
So the problem is not that ATi doesn't have the tech ability to do what I need, but rather that the apps that I want to use don't support it well.]]>Aug 5th 2010 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/Aug 5th 2010 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/Lol screen is too small for video projects. Nuff said this laptop is a premium netbook with HD compatiblity.

Ati blows nVedia and Intel chipsets out of the water in gaming performance. Not sure about video editing my 5870 does fine with photos ^_^ ]]>Aug 5th 2010 1:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/05/dell-inspiron-m101z-review/
