Storage Is My Life
Surfing, facebook, youtube, flash games. Playing music/syncing with ipod.
Uh... Youtube has both 720p and 1080p HD, as well as their more demanding HQ streams. However, if you want to have a processor on par with a 1gHz Pentium 3 feel free to keep buying Atom based systems. :lol:You're being ridiculous. Youtube is hardly HD!
Muppets do QueenGive me a youtube link that you feel challenges an Atom, and I'll give it a shot. Mine also plays xvid DVDs just fine.
IMO, a significant drawback of getting an HP is Windows 7. That is more likely to tax the Atom + 2GB platform.
Will, a number of people have recommended an MSI Wind U100/120/123 or equivalent.

They might have pulled it; there used to be a radio button menu attached to the HD button that let you select 720p or 1080p. Now it looks like you only get SD and HD 720p.I don't see a 1080p option on this PC...
I'd probably go with the dual core option at Fry's.
Big problem with HP Netbooks: The batteries are abysmal. I'm talking 90 minutes of battery life, here, on something with an Atom CPU.
The HP2140 uses 11V batteries, so the cells are clustered in groups of three. Your examples have either a 3-cell or 6-cell battery.We've had a few HP 2140's with the bottom end 4 cell battery, and regularly get 4hrs on them in general usage, even running Win7?
Admittedly, yes, at least 50% of the time...unless the screen backlight was off most of the time.
HP Mini 1000, 90 minutes is what my users are telling me.
These machines have 2GB. I upgraded them myself.
Also, in what can only be a facepalm moment, the way these things came into that client's office has absolutely everything to do with the fact that HP makes them available with a pink chassis.
Is it pink in the inside and on the outside? What caused that?
Fast dry; fully chip resistant after 7 days
And then there's this option.
I sprayed my leg with Krylon once in 1968 and the color did not come off until 1969.
Must have been a hell of a new years eve party
Well, they're here and shipping from various retailers.
The Acer 1410 has been updated and is available with a dual core SU2300 (1MB L2, 1.2GHz, 800MHz FSB) now. There's also a craptacular version with a single core Celeron M Processor ULV 743 (1MB L2 cache, 1.3GHz, 800MHz FSB).

The 1810TZ has a dual core SU4100 (2MB L2 1.3GHz, 800MHz FSB). The 1810T has a dual core SU7300 (3MB L2 1.3GHz, 800MHz FSB).
Not entirely sure. Most of them seem to have disappeared. Frankly, if it was a one time use, I'd get the AS1410 with the SU2300. It's $200 cheaper and you're not likely to miss the extra L2 cache or the 100MHz.Does the 1810T still exist? I was thinking about getting one for a one-time use.
