Hey Gizmodo, when you guys finally get a chance to review this thing, could you see how well it handles remote desktop? I'd love to run a beefy windows server and have this thing remote desktop to run the more beefy software (games and stuff) on my big screen. #eeekeyboard2010

I said this before, and I'll say it again: whose bright idea was it to put the POWER key right next to the delete key?! That's just frustration waiting to happen.... #eeekeyboard2010

Any idea if this thing has HDMI-CEC? Capacitive Touch Screen + Consumer Electronic Control + Wireless HDMI = most awesome tv-remote ever. #eeekeyboard2010

@Eruanno: Of course it's not!

240 is more than 120. Come on! Use your maths! That's twice as good!

I don't care about uber-thinness. I care about getting the best picture possible in a 52"-54" sized television for less than $2500.

And as for the 240Hz refresh, that isn't really doing it for me. Tell me that it has a view angle like a CRT or even a plasma, which is more and more what I'm probably going to go with.

@OMG! Ponies!: I'm with you there, the thinness alone isn't enough to make me consider one of these. Although this TV is sexy as hell

@OMG! Ponies!: 200 Hz Refresh on a 50inch LCD I just got in europe is incredible. People always ask me whether they're watching Full HD when we're watching normal SKY digital channels (its a UK tv service). Basically, I believe the refresh rate is whats making the pictures look so incredibly realistic.

Stay away from the plasma's that's just moving backwards.

@OMG! Ponies!: I suggest you direct your attention at this years LED tv from Samsung.

Thin as tv pictured above, 120Hz, and 5 million :1 contrast ratio.

Go see one a showroom or something, honestly the viewing angle is as good as a plasma or crt (what are you doing watching like a stalker at the side of the room anyways?), and the picture is phenomenal.

[www.samsung.com]

Almost, to me, seems like this new TV is their response to that Samsung LEDtv.

Oh yes almost forgot if price point is an issue i believe the 7 series is actually on sale at Sears for around 2,500 for the 55in.

@OMG! Ponies!: I second CE_Salesman's suggestion. I just picked up a 50" Panasonic G15 a couple of weeks ago and it's pure sweetness. Either that or the more expensive (and nicer) V10 will get you THX certification and a picture to die for. Especially for the price. I've never been happier with a TV.

@ts-x: Thanks to all. I'm not buying until after a cross-country move next year anyway, but I do try to stay up-to-date with what's out there. I want the best bang for my buck and I want it to last.

I guess during a recession is not the best time to introduce a $200 product that replaces a $3 cable. Who knew?

Why do we have to wait for asus to get wireless HDMI into something? Where are the companies who are supposed to be making regular Wireless HDMI dongles that can transmit from any device?

It's a nice concept, but it's lacking far too much. The slow processor is a major detractor, and I doubt that it'll be able to handle decoding media streams and all the overhead of wireless internet and everything else it will need to do. The second problem is 1GB of RAM... Windows XP really isn't very strong with under 2GB, especially if the video processor isn't strong, or uses shared memory. The small storage space looks like a major negative factor as well, seeing as Windows takes up a good amount of size in and of itself. A few shows, and various other media will quickly gobble this inadequate space.

As a web-surfer it may be merely "adequate" but as a media PC, I think it will fail miserably, as it looks like a recipe for sluggish performance. Double nearly everything in it and it'll be adequate, if expensive...

Of course... Asus made me completely loose interest with the word "Atom." Don't get me wrong, it's cool, but I couldn't see paying more than $500 for it...and I'm sure it will be more than that. I'll rethink my position on the Atom once the Pineviews come out, but until then, it's a no go for me.

@alexmg2420: I wouldn't count it out yet - Asus has managed to do some pretty good stuff in the budget market, and for a home PC I think that Atom serves a lot of folks just fine. I don't know about the HD size though, that might be a stickler for a lot of folks who need to keep larger media collections on disk, and since this isn't a traveling computer I can't see why they went the SSD route anyway. That said, it is one heck of a cool looking device and I want one. I'll figure out what I'll use it for later.

I think you guys totally missed the mark on your netbook predictions, I think you're ignoring a great deal of other improvements. What I'm seeing is a dual core atom, that is also smaller, more energy efficient, cheaper, with higher speed ram, cheaper SSD's of larger capacity, 32 gig microsdhc readers with hopefully readyboost and ssd-like implementation,longer battery life(carbon nanotube matrices?), brighter-cheaper-clearer-more-energy-efficient-OLED everything(?), lighter weight, and most importantly, AFFORDABILITY. They are pumping these things out, and mass economy which is going to be the primary concern next year what with the economy going to hell and laptops outselling desktops, they want to make these!

on a side note, last night I had a dream. It was the future. A lot of neat things happened but at one point in this future dream, I woke up and instead of putting my 2008 HTC phone in my pocket, I put a small penlike device into my shirt pocket, unclipped a small chip with a stickyness provided by nanohooks(a la a gecko's feet) and put it in my ear, while I put a small rectangular chip the size of a grain of rice on my lower left part of my neck, as a marrow-transducing mic, just like the silent mics in use by operatives. Then, I put in my pocket this clamshell that was like a minute laptop, powered by an Intel Fission processor, that had 4 physical cores, but 64 virtual cores on a 4 nm process chip that sucked power in from ambient radiative energy due to a fiber-based grid antenna that IS the chassis of this pocket-novel sized computer with a LED screen(LASER emitting diode). It had a small keyboard whose keys were flush, but with a flushness similar to the front of the HTC Diamond keys. However if you didn't want to dirty up the screen, the whole keyboard was a capacitative touch surface, with gestures. I wanted it the second I woke up...

@CrashingOut: Good points, but a few things to keep in mind:

The current dual core Atom draws roughly twice the power of the single core Atom. That's bad news for battery life.

[www.pcpro.co.uk]

As for these systems getting cheaper, I think that the cellphone-like subsidies around netbooks with 3G technologies will do little to bring these systems down in price—especially when you account for the exorbitant subscription costs. Hopefully the market holds out for less expensive wireless plans.

I'm confused.

Are you saying you are on your flying car, waiting, for something...

Or you're waiting delivery of your flying car?
