    Make it available for miniITX, then I'll consider it.

    Can I just ask what the heck you mean by "....1080p video, something that even nicely-screened netbooks simply don't need."?


    Even if you can tell 1080p at this screen size, there are HDMI out ports on a lot of netbooks. And even if the majority of netbooks don't have optical drives, streaming HD will eventually get to true 1080p, and one could always rip a blu-ray disc or download a 1080p movie.


    so...um...WTF is up with that statement?

    @Zlevee: Just what it says. It's arguable that doing anything at all on an external monitor is beyond the scope of netbooks. Netbooks are supposed to be cheap, small, and low-powered in both wattage and horsepower. For $300 it is not going to do a lot of things that the big boys can do, and it is entirely reasonable that 1080p is on the list of things it can't do.

    @WB: um, ok, but you seem to miss the point that several of them can indeed output via HDMI.

    I'm in need of a laptop and was wondering if there have been any improvements in energy efficiency. AMD rigs have a reputation for supposedly running hotter that similar Intel rigs and I've been wondering if this reputation is unjustly deserved...

    @TonyTriple: I've always heard the opposite, that Intel runs hotter than AMD, but maybe that's changed recently. Everyone was building Opteron machines cause they could OC them well and they ran cooler than anything Intel could throw at them.

    @EqualOpportunityCrasher: Intel ran hot with P4 (Northwood or Prescott) or any of their CPU using Netburst. Tides turned when they switched to Core.

    Hey that's super.


    Too bad I already bought a machine with Intel inside.


    Maybe on the next go round?

    At the end of the day, all of these things are laptops - at different physical sizes.


    E.O.S.

    @Stacky Botrus: Apparently the auto marketing people are now working for the chip companies. Station wagons because SUVs became crossovers--but they're all station wagons.
