    What kind of TV tuner? DVB-T would be cool, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

    Battery life and price will probably determine just how good this is.

    I've been hanging off upgrading my EeePC 4G until there's one released with a decent screen res, like the HP 2133. (The HP has been too expensive and the Via chip doesn't cut much muster).

    This looks promising, as long as they get the price point right - around 250 would do it.

    It has a 720p screen but will it be powerful enough to actually playback HD content smoothly?

    I think they can manage 720p just about.

    One example of an atom doing just that

    Looking forward to seeing what my MSI can do when overclocked to 2.0Ghz

    Just seen this article. This Netbook looks interesting. Good resolution, as well.

    As you say, Funkstar, DVBt would be good.

    Though actually, with the digital switchover already started, there really wouldn't be much point in adding an analogue tuner

    I was speaking to Dell UK today and they've confirmed the release date to be Feb 27th.

    I dissagree. I'm not saying that everything is good from them, but they do produce some excellent systems, especially their business laptops.

    Re: News - Dell's Mini 10 looks to be the best netbook of CES 2009

    ok, have you seen any desent video cards for PCIe x8 slot?

    as in the length off the actuall slot is X8

    its not a x16 slot thats limited to x8 its much shorter to fit any desent video card in in

    also i have about 5 friends who use them, and my dads company boss uses them

    none off the friends canput a desent new part in that everyone usually can eg. a new radeon HD4870

    and as for business they dont mind you openning the case(no waranty loss), but to make sure you dont change something they glue everything in, they had to wait a week with a badly ratteling PSU fan, since it was glued in

    where as you and me would have just taken it out and put a new one in

    Re: News - Dell's Mini 10 looks to be the best netbook of CES 2009

    Yeah an 8x slot is fairly odd.

    As for the glue, a lot of system vendors do this, it dramatically cuts down on things shaking loose during transport. You should just be able to pick off the blobs of hotglue.

    alot of vendors?

    i never seen anyone apart from Dell do it. i had few ASUS computers and none had any glue in it

    oh did i mention they got their own shape for DDR memory so you cant buy standart ram and put it in, it has to be through them at higher costs
