While Intel graphics do truly suck in terms of performance, they do have a couple advantages: Price, as you already sorta mentioned, and power consumption (especially with the upcoming PineView chipset). And so depending on what you actually plan to use the netbook for, that might not be such a bad compromise.

Just because it doesn't interest you, that doesn't make it "garbage".

See this is just one problem with having the replies hidden.

Anyways, the earlier Acer models were not as easy to upgrade. Conversely Asus has made their more recent netbooks harder to upgrade.

Obviously it depends on how good your eyes are too. (Which in turn comes down to genetics and age.)

Hmm... I'm not sure why my reply showed up under your post. I was replying to Ma2T.

I suppose the current generation Ion might be too big to fit in a 10" netbook.Or maybe it's just because they can charge a premium for the 12" models.

@Shidell

The 1201N is a 12". Many, including myself, feel that's just too big for a netbook.

@junkdna

Of course the 1101HA is an 11.6" model. This is at least their first *10.1" netbook* with a 1366x768 display.

Why don't you use the zoom-in function built into your browser? (well, unless you're using something ancient like IE 6)

@Ma2T

One problem with the 1201N: It's a 12.1" model. At least it's a problem for those of us that would rather have a smaller 10.1" netbook.
