"VIA has introduced out its latest Nano CPUs, pitching the new 3000 family of low-power processors at makers of thin'n'light laptops and of all-in-one desktops. The Nano 3000 series runs to six processors, clock at between 1GHz and 2GHz. They all sit on an 800MHz system bus. Four U3x00 models consume just 100mW of power when idling - the two L3xx0 Nanos consume 500mW at idle. VIA touted the new parts' support for 64-bit computing, virtualisation and the SSE 4 media processing instructions. Like past VIA processors, the new ones have on-board AES and SHA encryption engine."

I have an eeepc 1000h, it weights 3.2 pounds and it could be much slimmer. I hope that my next netbook with a next-gen Atom and an SSD will be <2 pounds, at the same form factor.
And speaking of 10" screens - without the bezel the screen could be 11", without changing the size of the netbook. And sadly, the reason for this bezel is not technological : http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20090526PD211.html
