Yes, and I also prefer "pebble keys" to those wobbly floaters.
Oh, and 10.1-inch (1024 x 600). That is SO early-adopter Gen0 netbook. Actually, I mean 2001 Pentium 3!
"Generation 3" netbooks need 1366x768 at a minimum and preferably higher for premium netbooks.
but where's the 802.11ac?
using an acer lappy right now BTW
many, many apps are designed for 1024x768 and these low res screens just dont cut it.
that said, whats the big deal about cedar trail again?
Agreed on resolutions. We need at least 1366x768 nowadays. A phone gets more resolution at smaller screen so why can't these netbooks? I know costs comes into play but if phone could keep the cost down, with the touchscreen included so why can't these netbooks?
i spent $600 on a laptop recently and it came with 1366x768, and i think that is the minimum anyone should want. my 7" netbook has 1024x600 res, and its too small for most things - web browsing is barely acceptable due to most sites being optimised for 1024x768
