@Settings: W7 is a lot better optimized than what Vista was. But it still uses more resources than XP did.

@Herbert-the-Pervert: More likely just a crowd of W7 users.

The game in the android section is called "Ninja Splat", not "Angry Ninja".

They will still be around well into 2012.

@bigdukem69: This is about downloading apps though.

I must give it to you Jesus. Your article has given rise to some of the best comments I have seen on giz. I just keep coming back for more.

@Elvashak: First, it is spelt "Graphics". Not important, but frustrating.

@stsdroog: Smaller form factor laptop?

@tdvx: Gizmodo is filled with windows fanboys?

@Mooncow27: The z550 really isn't that great of a processor. The D525 benchmarks far better, and can also be found on netbooks/ultra-slimline notebooks.

@Dr.Evil4.0: The lack of an atom shouldn't really disqualify it from netbook status.

@ian.g.case: Please see my other post. In benchmarks, the Dual core atom comes pretty close to the 1.4ghz core2duo (found in the 11" MBA) in benchmark tests.

@lostarchitect: They both have dual core processors. Infact the 11" model MBA is clocked at 1.4ghz. I just looked at the benchmarks and they come out pretty close in performance.

Thought I should share this with you guys. Please compare with 11" model MBA:

Who are you and what have you done to Jesus.

@Astrophizz: Considering it is an alpha, I think that is reasonable.

@vein11: Well it is on iPad, so it kind of is.
