I don't think I would be buying a netbook with a dedicated graphics chip. Doesn't make sense to me. Not worth the expenses in heat & power consumption, nevermind the additional monetary cost. My U810 has got a 945GM and it's just fine - who needs 1080 video playback on systems that have screens with 1024x600 max resolution?

The Inq is a comedy newspaper of mostly IT tech stories. Have you not noticed this already?

So you imagine that you get a representative sample of British journalism by reading the Inquirer? Your nom de plume is somewhat self-referential, I fear.

Why can't British journos just type an article without adding in a bunch of goofy nicknames for everything? Is is just to difficult to report the news without being the center of attention? I like coming here to read, but it really bothers me having to wade through all this "look-at-me" nonsensical blather all the time.

I don't know about Asus and Acer, perhaps the sourcing (purchasing) people have some common sense, but I would be quite skeptical about Nvidia's offerings until I were throughly convinced the process issues, i.e., bump and underfill, were completely resolved. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me!
