im interested cuz they are small and portable and cheap. I hav a good gaming PC so I was only gonna use the netbook mostly for net browsing, school stuff,vids n traveling if i need to. Im wondering if it could handle something like Microsoft Visual Studio 08 cuz it would be very useful, it passes the minimum specs for MVS but might lagg like crap while compiling.
So any opinions? is it worth it?fails?

yes it will run visual studio.

unless you are compiling something enormous, it probably doesn't take longer than seconds anyway, even on low end stuff like that.

Intel Atoms cannot run flash, period. So don't even think about playing a flash game or watching a video on hulu, or even more pathetically, not blocking ads.

only as good as u want em to be. and no im not saying that if u want them to be good then they will be good. they are only limited to certain things but it would be good for school work and other crap like that

Most people who get netbooks is due to its size and attractive price, but under it all, it's a weak portable device that are better suited for those that already has a primary powerful system.
Majority of netbooks these days uses Intel graphics, there are some that uses the Nvidia ION. For extra performance find one based on the ION platform or a AMD based which also get you some decent graphics.

If budget is not the problem, ASUS offers wide range of ULCV laptop from 12-13", bit bigger compare to a netbook, but offers more power in exchange of shorter battery

The ION graphics won't kick in unless your running adobe flash 10.1 which support GPU acceleration, otherwise your still using the CPU as the work horse to run flash contents.
