Awesome first look. This is the system I want to sell my VPR matrix laptop for. I love the small size and the fact that it has integrated wireless networking and a DVD/CD-RW drive built in.

Honestly, it has everything you need. 512MB of memory too!

Mmmmm. Technolust kickin' in. Better than caffeine.

Whats up with the integrated video in all the subnotebooks, the x10 has a geforce go but thats about it. Does integrated save more power?

Dynamism has em if you want one now....

compusa has em now if you want one.

I agree, is there not a chipset designed for a laptop this small with a real GPU on it?

When will people learn not to call it an Intel Centrino processor. It is a freaking Intel Pentium M with Centrino technology. Some companies like Dell try to trick you b/c really, all Centrino is is the wireless chipset technology for Intel. They tell people about computers with Intel Centrino processors for power saving, and what do they put in them? Pentium 4Ms. *rolls eyes*.

Actually, I think the Centrino technology is the Pentium III-M with a modified bus, extra cache, and 802.11b even though they are technically above the rating of a P3 for their clock cycles.

The thing that sucks is that youcan have a notebook with a Pentium-M and a non-Intell wifi chipset and it won't be a "Centrino" system, even though it may have all features of one. And it would probably flop, since it lacked the buzz word.

Ah well. Whatever.
