Today’s netbooks stink at that, big-time. They are good at basic websites, but awful on music (lack of hard drive) and video (lack of horsepower).

One Laptop Per Child. Then Asus came out with the 900, an underpowered, 7″ screen with Linux and 8gigs of storage, with rumors of 65% retail return rates. Then Asus and MSI, because consumers didnt like the small ones, brought out larger ones with 10″ screen, 160gigs hard drive, windows xp, larger screens, etc.

It’s now a mini-notebook market . If AMD comes out with one, would make sense to leverage their superior graphics and video.
