my gf bought a 1215B which is pretty similar, but the horizontal viewing angles are horrible, if you are looking at it with a slightly less then optimal angle the black becomes light grey and all the colors become crap.
However it does play things like WoW at respectable minimum framerates.
Asus could have kitted the laptop up with an intel i3 though so i suppose the APU was to keep it slightly more affordable.
Why is it people seem to think that for AMD to compete they have to beat the Intel high-end completely ignoring the other 95% of the market?
That aside, I'd like a slice of trinity please in that book.
Asus, i want to like you, but get your pricing right. Not too many people will pay 400€ for a 11" Zacate laptop or 500€ for a 13" one. Though i happily paid Lenovo 300€ for a 11" one a year ago :D
