The one thing I don't like about the Atom is it can't play back high video very well, I can't use a netbook with an Atom to watch high quality video while on the plane or train...

I don't have an issue with the 6 - 9 hour battery life offered by some models. I wonder if they did a survey out of what people wanted over battery life and performance in the next Atom would win.

My vote would be on performance.
