What? First you get wireless and now you start posting about netbooks

In any case, it's the same eee design we've been seeing for the last year, now with a new™ Atom CPU. jeeeej.

The problems with these netbooks IMO isn't the CPU, but the fact that almost those machines seem to be designed as a neat gizmo ("hebbedingetje" as we call it in Dutch, can't find a proper translation for this) rather than a serious machine for serious work.
The design sucks, The keyboard suck, the screens suck. The build quality sucks. This is *not* just because of the size, but for a large part due to bad design.

There are a few exceptions, I sort of like like the samsung NC10, the new Thinkpad X100 seems "ok-ish" (Lacking hands-on experience I must admit), and those grey HP mininote things are nice ... But none are what I would "good" ... Just "nice" ...

The rest? Please redirect to /dev/trash
