If you can wait for a month or two, AMD Fusion Zacate powered laptops will be released. They'll have much better graphics performance than the current Intel Atom power netbooks and are also likely to be cheap.

Actually I was very tight with my budget and the diff shows. HP Mini for Rs.16000 and Asus 1201T for Rs.18000.
Anyway can u plz highlight what have I missed in Mini?
That would be very kind of you.
Thank you...

12" HD Glare (1366x768 resolution, HP- 1024x768)

ATI HD 3200 GPU
(Can render 1080p video with EVR/madVR+CoreAVC, HP- Intel GMA 3150 can't)

2G DDR2 running at 800MHz, hence more bandwidth (HP- 1GB runs at 667MHz, lower bandw)

320GB HDD (HP- 160GB)

Higher FSB speed due to AMD MV40 800Mhz (HP- 667MHz FSB)

MV-40 vs N455, better benchmark results in case of MV-40 (HP- N455, less TDP, hence lower processing power. HP advantage:- N455- 45nm architecture, hence less heating, MV-40- 65nm architecture heats up a little more)

BT 2.1/(3.0 optional) [HP- doesn't provide BT]

6 Cell Battery (HP- 3 cell)

Seriously AMD do not have a competitor for Atom till date (i know abt fusion but when exactly ?)
The Netbook i purchased is seriously better than HP MINI or any other netbook in that range and believe me it comes near abt the performance of notebook (just near about)
But a netbook must have good battery which AMD doesn't supply. They are power hungry.

I still love the machine best piece. But just the Battery nags me.. BUT NOTHING IS PERFECT UNTILL U FEEL IT... lol
Overall great netbook in the range by price and performance


oh the battery gives me 4 1/2 hr (on load)
