      These small ones are not too favorably reviewed. Probably better to get a full sized one.

      I was just reading that the Atom processor doesn't have the power to run Hulu full screen. I'll be all over one of these netbooks when I can run full screen video....

      That is a rather strange name. Sounds like a Japanese video game.

      The original Wind had an overclock button. Does anyone know if this has retained this feature?

      seems like a really good deal on a basic laptop that's tiny as hell.

      Love edition just has a bunch of hearts on the lid, girls dig it.
      Speaking of the OC button, apparently the latest BIOS update enabled it.

      Yeah, guys - this is a "NetBook" meaning it's mostly just for surfing and email. It's a throwaway laptop. You wouldn't use this for any major computing. FYI: They make even smaller netbooks, just in case you didn't know. They go all the way down to a 7" screen. Most netbooks are not for the faint of heart either as they generally come with Linux out of the box (that's an operating system Wink ). This one actually has XP native. And for the rest of you that know what this is, yes they are rated pretty well and it's a pretty good price for one with a HD instead of a SSD.

      I have the Asus EEE PC 1000H which runs on the same Atom proc. I can guarantee you that Hulu will play full screen with no problem and looks perfect. I always slecet hi-res and then full screen - no problem at all.

      How can the antom processor not run Hulu fullscreen when my AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ (690mhz) laptop can run it fullscreen?

      I remember reading somewhere that Microcenter has an in-store deal for $299 on the MSI Wind.
