I got one for Christmas. I love it. I am a lady and no it is not pink. I actually like the black. Oh, and I haven’t put it in my purse yet

“I put the unit in my wife’s purse…”

C’mon George, there’s no shame in admitting your fetish.

nuCrash, these are ALL the same chipsets using the GMA 950. The Dell Mini 12 and Sony Vaio P use the GMA 500 which has hardware acceleration, but Flash video sucks so bad that it doesn’t even work on a Core Solo with GS40 chipset or Nvidia Ion. The problem is that Adobe Flash just plain sucks for anything 480P or higher.

Silverlight 720P on the other hand works on all of these platforms.

I have been taking a second look at ASUS, yes I know, I am a traitor and a flip flopper and what ever other evil term you want to call me, but I ultimately think I need to consider the design aspects of this particular laptop as well as the battery life. I think the 1005HA may be better suited to my needs, but the problem with it is the crappy video chipset. I am not for sure how much better the 950 is over the 945, but probably a difference worth considering.

OpenSUSE is one of the better distros that had MSI do a poor job of installing it. Why I am show cross with ASUS is over the fact that ASUS really pushed Xandros and also managed to get a following behind their devices. Something that very few have been able to do with their Linux products.

I’m sure MS will change the definition of what their Starter/netbook version of 7 can ship on, but I wouldn’t expect them to go away. As I understand it, that version will sell for $15.00. I don’t see them offering windows on every PC at that price.

Then again, I never imagined upgrades of 7 Home Premium selling for $50.00, and yet that appears to be what it will sell for.
