Agreed. I'm kind of worn out on netbooks myself =P

I have a solid gaming rig I built and never really got into PC gaming... I use it for youtube, facebook, music and movies. I think I could easily have gotten away with swapping that thing out for a Win7 Tablet that had an HDMI out and a USB port...

I use my acer extensa laptop on my workbench for modretro-related awesomeness though... It gets more use than my quad-core win7 box...

Yeah actually, that is exactly the kind of machine I'm looking for. any ETA? I didn't see any on that site...

September 8.
Should be $600 as well, but that's unconfirmed as far as I know.

Isn't the Joojoo/Crunchpad basically a Slate? Atom N270, Nvidia ION, 1366x768, capable of running desktop OSes, for $500? It just has a 4 gig SSD (helped by a MicroSDHC slot and vacant mini-pcie slot).

Rethinking it, a tablet would do me no good, since I do all my gaming on PC. Again, I'm loving the Eee 1215N more and more. A netbook (sort of) that can run games? Awesome!

I think the Eee 1215N is more like the old school thin-and-light laptops like the Toshiba Portege line and Powerbook 2400. The ION platform is pretty strong considering its size, and the screens and keyboards are actually usable! (I still like my old Portege 7200cte.)

I'd get something like that before a traditional 10" netbook with one of Intel's Garbage Media Adapter chipsets. :lol:

I want something good for cheap. I want something that I can have resourse on for a good price. I have an itouch and I am getting a new laptop. But I want something with a bigger screen than my itouch. Also under $250...
