Hi Anand,
I'm curious what you think the implications of the netbook market will have on the notebook market. I see a huge problem in that if we develop all these people wanting cheap netbooks, the notebooks will start to go down in production numbers, driving up the cost to a prohibitively high number. My fear is that as netbooks catch on notebooks will go back into the "way too expensive to justify" category. That's scary to me because I don't like using netbooks for most things. The screen is far too small to browse the internet even. What do you think is going to happen to the $1000 notebook? The last thing I want is to pay $1500 for a starter notebook next year.

That's why a lot of us keep suggesting that the basic netbook should have expandability on an external basis -- like a dock or an all purpose communication/ expansion port.A small portable PC with different functions wherever and whenever you need it.

Why don't we just improve the way this new computer communicates with existing standard devices. That would be a much cheaper alternative than making a whole new set of standards. Most of the expansion capability of our present desktops PCs require only 2 things: 1)connections for power and data and 2)something to translate in between. This is where modularity and the docking system would truly make an impact.

Hi,

I am interested in buying a netbook with an AMD CPU inside (as Anand above specified, derived from the K8 architecture).
Could anybody let me know a netbook brand using such a CPU ?

In case you know one, please let me know at this email address: radun@videotron.ca

Thank you
