...and the HDMI port, both of which are the reason you would buy this instead of a netbook.

Good lord Dell.

RAM isn't upgradeable, no multitouch, GPS, 3G, 6 cell battery option, TV tuner or high resolution screen at launch AND you're charging extra for alternate colours? You really should have just waited. This is a joke.

Jokes aside, this is the one I've been waiting for. I liked the EEEPC best out of all the choices (small size, large multi-touch touchpad) but the size of the SSD wasn't cutting it. The 4 cell battery is the only downside.

This hurts my brain.

Now we're talking. The only thing the EEEpc has going for it is the multitouch trackpad and a good user base.

Apparently $3000 of my Canadian dollars can buy me a house in one of many "rustbelt" cities in the grand ol' US of A. In related news, thanks for making all my electronics about 50% cheaper.

@Raptor007 Actually HDTVs are 16:9 because that's the aspect ratio of HD video and has been for a very long time. Sure, they show movies in HDTV but those are shot on film (for the most part, and so are some TV shows but I digress) in several different aspect ratios. They're not related.

that's what happens when you walk away from a post you were writing.

too slow

just like everything else different groups came up with different standards. 16:9 is the TV standard, created in 1984. 16:10 is the computer standard and it might have something to do with being able to show a4 pages side by side on the screen, or that's what I could get from wikipedia.

@MarkL they've been shooting tons of HDTV 16:9 for a while now and that catalogue will only grow as time goes on.

good god I hate rogers. If I didn't have an apartment I would switch. They seriously can't do anything right. I paid to get out of my cell phone with them, I just cancelled my internet because they imposed caps on the slowest internet connection possible and their customer service is a joke. I would call to complain about this but there's no way anyone that mans the phones will know what I'm talking about. The canadian duopoly strikes again.
