Default Yay! Next gen of Netbooks out now! Intel Core 2 Solo

So far it is the Acer and Gateway(same company). Plus it comes with Vista Home Premium which means you will get the free Windows 7 upgrade. Battery is a 6 cell 5600mah which sits flush on the netbook! Price is only $499 at Futureshop.

hmm, wish they would have dual cores...but a core 2 solo should be better than Atom at least.

It is almost twice as fast.

Also it has a full size keyboard.

It will allow HD playback, which now means you should be able to surf, email, and play back almost any type of media file.

Although with the screen being 11.6", the line between netbook and notebook is VERY blurry.
