    Hey, anyone see this thing:
    http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3478&p=1&cp=4#comments

    Man, I want me one of those now. The desktop picoITX version, that is, but it'd make for a damn fine netbook, too.

    NVIDIA expects designs based on the Ion platform to debut in the first half of 2009, but I’d be surprised if we didn’t see something in the first quarter.

    Fucking want right the fuck now.

    Neato. I hope they pair dual core Atoms with it and shove it into netbooks (as much as Intel doesn't want dual core atoms being in netbooks.)

    Only way you're getting a Nano in a netbook is if they use a ~1.3GHz model, and those still have an 8W TDP.

    The L2100 that everyone's been using for the "OMG NANO PWNX0RZ ATOM"? 25W.

    I've tried a NC10 at PCWorld and fell in love with it. Personally I placed keyboard layout and size above anything else, since most of the specs between notebooks are similar. However, I do have a Samsung R560 15.4" which is a very solid notebook, so I may be a little biased :P

    Before that though I did consider the Aspire One, as it has the same full-length right shift and not bad keyboard size for 8.9 incher.
