I'm afraid it won't. I've been in the market for a netbook and was waiting to see what the new generation of Atom processors and the Pinetrail platform would bring. So far the benchmarks show no increase in either CPU or graphics speed, only a modest gain in battery life. So there's little reason to retire your current netbook to upgrade. Some people have found that the netbook they bought six months ago is either underpowered for their needs or that that they no longer have a use for it, but nobody who paid $275-400 for a netbook in the past year will be selling them for $100. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73602 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
