Hardware, Embedded Systems Netbooks use various types of processors, but most of them are built around Intel's Atom processor and architecture. There are more exotic options, such as the Chinese Longsoon processor, but those are quite rare and hard to come by - and certainly not as powerful. Apparently, another contender is preparing to enter the netbook processor market. Say hello to ARM.

At the moment a good web experience is pretty tied to X86. Open Source can help.


I have a superb web experience. I can't remember the last time I came across something that wouldn't work. Admittedly I can't use web sites that demand I download Active-X plugins, but I can't remember the last time I came across one of them. I surf to loads of sites that use Flash, and even occasionally come across some that use Silverlight. They all work for me.

I'm using a PowerPC-based Mac.
