Sometimes battery life trumps speed. Especially in Netbooks. The current AMD netbooks suck juice like nobody's biz. 5 hours of battery just doesn't cut it. Hopefully they will address that problem.

I'm getting 10-11 hours out of my N450.

The next gen AMD stuff is supposed to be big on power while being fairly low on battery use and price

also cheap

Quit funny, I actually bought a macbook 13" for the lightness of it, compared to my heavier laptop. Now I'm considering buying a netbook too. Also I'd vote for an asus netbook
