Hardware, Embedded Systems As some of you may have noticed, I'm slightly obsessed with my Aspire One netbook, and actually, with netbooks in general. They are great little devices, more powerful than you'd give them credit for upon first encounter. And, but that might just be me, netbooks are what laptops should have been from day one: truly portable. El Reg has put together a buyer's guide for today's netbooks, and while the guide is generally spot-on with its assessments, it does present some odd choices here and there. Read on for some of my own thoughts grown out of experience.

Thing is Intel does have a low power chipset for Atom, Intel Poulsbo, which from the specs looks perfectly fine for netbook use.

But...it is used only in MIDs, or how those 7" touchscreen only decvices are called at the moment. Nevermind the name, what's important is that they're sold at much higher prices than netbooks...
