PS: Can i get any netbook with dual core atom and Nvidia Ion( both or either one of them) in this range? or even a AMD one with decent processing power and good graphics will suffice. Again can sacrifice on the graphics processor for a larger screensize(11" or 12"), with HD video(720p) being the tradeoff,but am game with it.
There is a EEEPc model at something around 17k with a 12" display, is it available now?what is the current price as well?
A secondary research suggested at the Dell inspiron mini 10 (mini 10v to be more precise,to test the "forbidden fruit" in it as well,but then again heard that i heats up and one of the deciding factors in getting a netbook is my lappy getting excessively hot,though can sacrifice a bit if it has dedicated graphics(again a tradeoff )
Cheers ...\m/
It will be kind enough if you guys can put in your views ( I am not that inclined towards the tablet,coz i need to give presentations and seminars as well and tablets do not have a VGA out and m not that comfy working on excel or powerpoint,that too in a touchscreen)
BUMP,no reply, BTW I too researched a bit and found the Asus EEEpc 1215B as a good option(fitting my bill of portability ), but priced on the higher side,can anyone confirm w\if its available in India,and at what pricepoint? Also any other options in this 12" segment,does the dell inspiron mini has integrated graphics as well?
