How do you plan to use a Netbook...might want to see if this some manufacturer starts using this chipset...

I have to believe AMD might be working on a competitor to Intel's Atom...

Mainly to sit on my lap when I am watching TV and accessing the internet. I have a laptop which I am working from in addition to two desktops but it is too heavy. The netbooks are around 2.2 pounds and would be perfect for what I need to know. I won’t be doing any heavy duty work with one. So far I have been most attracted to the Samsung NC-10 but don’t want to spend that much. I like its eight hour battery life especially. I have AMD processors in all of my current computers but on this laptop I’m lucky to get an hour and a half out of the battery. Most of the time it is just plugged in so it isn’t a big deal. But on the netbook I don’t want to mess with cords. So battery life is paramount.
