Italian retailer lists ASUS netbook powered by legacy CPU.
Given the price of the Compaq 311c with 11.6" and ION it does seem a little steep. At £200 it would've been an interesting proposition with it's decent res.
Hmmm, with an AMD Geode and SIS chipset I find it highly unlikely that it'd be able to make full use of that screen resolution properly - you certainly won't get any hardware acceleration for decoding media, SIS graphics are appalling for any kind of even light gaming, and a 1.4GHz Athlon XP is not going to set the world on fire - at best it'll make it luke-warm.
It needed to be well under £200 to make any sense at all, and then only as the laptop for people who really couldn't afford a laptop...
Strange choices, very strange... I can't imagine the old Geode (Athlon XP based) is really any faster clock for clock than an Atom...
So Atom performance, for a lot more energy, shorter battery life and ultra crap graphics with ultra crap SiS drivers... oh and it's no cheaper.
WIN!
Not.
I agree with everyone else might be worth while if it was around the £100 mark even then a 2 hour battery is just pointless on a small laptop.
Only cos of the hot running chip... it won't be the racing stripes!Quote:
