ASUS Readies AMD-based Eee PC 1015T Netbook

The SU2300 came with some acer netbook IIRC, at around 400~450$ MAX

but my point is that the better gpu won't help much, since the main target for netbook sells is the mass. Therefore a better CPU is going to be seen as a better netbook

Now this netbook has a very low amount of RAM, and not so great battery life... To make it better, you'd have to buy a 2gb stick, which will boost the price of this netbook by at least 50$ if not more, which is fine, except the mass don't bother with such things

6hrs isn't bad battery life and they can get alot more but i have yet to see an AMD netbook were the manuf has enabled cool and quiet...my gateway can get 4-5hrs maxed out running autodesk inventor (try that on an atom) but with my own personal power saver setting i can get 6-8hrs very easily the chips tune very well and at 800mhz its still enough power to run office, internet and music with no lags.

Interesting...

My SL9400 + 80gb SSD + 4gb RAM does the job for me though Lets say it isn't the same price range or class though xD (580$ + 80$ 4yr warranty)

I wonder though, for light gaming how this netbook would do..... Just pop in a 2gb stick and it should do OK

even my gateway can do most games ran HL2 and such on it just fine

I'm a master at low end hardware lol, I was stuck with either a single core sony with DDR RAM and a T2300 Dell with 1gb of ddr2 and a GMA950.... I'm waiting on parts for my new build. The SL9400 is borrowed from my dad, only use it a bit, I bought it for him after all xD

I could get HL2, Flight Simulator X, Civ IV, F.E.A.R, Rome Total War, games like that work well. Any more and forget it though lol

Shame about the screen, if it was 1280 x 768 I might go for one.
