It would appear that new netbooks are on the horizon. According to reports, HP will launch at least two more models built around Intel's Atom N455 (1.66GHz) and N475 (1.83GHz) processors.
These will be aimed at the entry-level market, a move some analysts says is HP's way of protecting its budget business as Intel shuttles its Atom chips into low-cost notebooks.
Analysts also predict that HP's re-entry into netbook territory, along with Intel's upcoming dual-core Atom chips slated for an October release, will spark heavy competition among the industry's four biggest players, including Acer, Asus, Samsung, and HP.

Can Maximum PC please tell us the Screen Res of all laptops? I'ts pretty important because websites are optimized for 1024 horizontal res. If this Netbook had a resolution of 1920x1080, then a large portion of the tiny screen will be wasted as empty webpage borders, Because all netbooks have small screens, It's better to have a Netbook with 1024 horizontal so none of the screen is wasted and the larger pixels will make text easier to read. My current netbook has 800 horizontal resolution and is annoying because I have to scroll side to side a lot.

I feel like there's no hype around netbooks anymore? There's so many different models and variants, each variant just varying ever so slightly from one another.
