Netbooks set to go Dual Core - Can VIA and AMD Take on Intel’s Atom?
Posted 05/28/2009 at 08:30:30pm
I really like the netbook concept. Nevertheless, here's my overall wish list for a netbook:
-Dual Core processor
-2 GB SDRAM Min.
-160 GB HDD or 64 GB SSD
-NVidia GPU (Ion platform maybe?)
-HDMI, USB
-WiFi
-Integrated camera and mic
-OS, anything will do.
-6 cell battery
-720p, 1080p better.
-10" display, anything more I would not consider a netbook or mini laptop. Anything less is just uncomfortable. They hit the right spot with 10" displays.
-Good touchpad and as close to full size keyboards, or full size if possible, with some space for the hands. I would also consider a small "rolling ball" mouse, on the right side near the place I usually place my hand. Hopefully it will work better than the mac mouse button, which is garbage.
-Price: $375.00 Max.
I'm not being ambitious. But for now I'll wait for a dual core processor and better video before buying. Money is tight.
