How about the ASUS eeePC1000H? 10.0" screen. Quite fast too. Just helped a friend load MS Office onto it and it took only 10 mins. Surfing is fast too.
How about the ASUS eeePC1000H?
Someone told me there is a utility from MSI Wind forum that they created to resized it to 1024x768.Still only 1024x600 pixels, no?
Have you tried photoshop cs3 on it yet?I chose ACER Aspire One in the end for its overall keyboard ( very impt for comfortable typing , thus the asus range is out as the keyboard is too small ) , win XP ( hp2133 is out coz they are using vista for a netbook !? lol ) , average 5-6 hrs of battery life on the 6 cell battery , intel atom and 160GB hdd !
Initially wanted to get the hp for its keyboard and the better design , imo the asus and msi looks very flimsy ... ended up with the acer and so far no complaint quite happy with it .

Only the Lenovo S10 is available locally and its still a 3 cell battery (roughly 2.5hrs usage).
Guys look out for Asus N10J Netbook. But screen still 1024x600, HDMI is just super. Can load directly from my Canon HF100, perfect for travelling.
Asus N10J
Heard it will be at Sitex, not sure pricing though.

Well, one thing is I have 8 Notebooks at home, I am using a 15" screen size myself. I have 2 netbooks that I now find I want better specs.Didn't you complain about most Atom netbooks having only 1024x600 pixels screen resolution? The notebook (not netbook, according to Asus) you tout here has .... (Drum roll) ...
... the same Atom N270 processor and the same 1024x600 pixel screen resolution.
Ok, it has a glossy screen (on their website, Asus literally specifies it, in a surprising bout of honesty, as "glare-type"). To me that doesn't sound like an improvement.
I also don't see how a HDMI port helps for image editing "on the go". Unless you carry a HDMI monitor around with the notebook... in which case, why aren't you getting one of those big-screen notebooks in the first place?
When I travel I bring along my camera and Digicam (which incidently have a mini-HDMI port) why must HDMI connect to a large screen only?
I have one HP Notebook that also has HDMI, when I connect my Digicam through HDMI, I could load my videos to it, I assume this Asus might operate in the same manner, but I am no techie... my purpose posting here is to share info.I think there is a misunderstanding. The online specifications don't make it clear, but I would think it is almost certain that the HDMI port is an output, not an input. I.e., you can connect the laptop to a big screen, but you very likely cannot use it to view the video from your cameras on the laptop screen.
NB, the restriction of video modes is really not a processor problem. The limitation comes from the chipset (945GSE, I believe) which most netbooks use for its moderate power consumption (no point having a low-power processor otherwise). You can use high-end graphics chips with an Atom, but it would likely cripple the battery endurance of netbooks which is one of the main selling points.
Note that the N10J laptop does add a higher-end graphics chip to drive the HDMI port. I don't find battery endurance information, but the power supply is rated for 65 W. Compare this to an eeePC which, apart from the video section, seems to have virtually identical hardware - it comes with a 36W power supply. And despite the higher power consumption, the N10J uses a lower-capacity battery than the eeePC.
And my apologies if I offended you.
