QUOTE(Paul (MVP) @ May 22 2008, 21:24)  I see you've XP'd it... did you try Vista first? P Yup...had vista on there for about 2 mins....It just boots well too slow. with xp it boots just as quick as my eee with its SSD. Ive kept the recovery partition just incase i decide to go back....Doubt it though XP + sp3 ftw  Edit: I would add though once its booted into vista it does run fine...but i think its a little overkill for the via CPU. Maybe with a little tweaking it would run pretty well. This post has been edited by J273: May 22 2008, 20:31 -------------------- |

Ok that settles it, ordering it monday haha. I may even pick up another copy of xp (shutters at the thought of spending more money on an os).
thats pretty slick that they put an HD right in the head unit, wish they would have done that here. Thanks again for everything, I'm reading through all these reviews now on the mini note, and its looks like everyone digs it. -------------------- www.TheLocalSpots.com - Built for Professionals on a Budget.

Have you thought about the MSI wind?
Looks pretty decent to me with its 10'' screen. I think ill be getting one of those too and compare them both. Its supposed to have a LED backlit display. The mininotes displays not too bad though

MSI Wind = Intel Atom right?
I think the Via chip is underrated TBH in the low cost, low power field... P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder. Check out my Blog! £10 off a £20 spend at eXpansys - click for details |

Ive heard of some performance problems with the 1.2 ghz version....So its probably best to go for the 1.6ghz if you can. -------------------- |

I just picked up the Samsung LN52A750 for my living room. so thats going to set me back for a little while, sorry to disapoint ya'll, but I saw this tv and had to have it. With a 28" articulating wall mount it will really tie the room together hahahah. -------------------- www.TheLocalSpots.com - Built for Professionals on a Budget.
