cause u dont have to buy 2? (price for one hp is 300)

also the hp has a atom while the acer has a amd c50 which can play back hd footage (good luck with doing that on the hp)
ever wonder why its forbidden to see a girls breasts in a video game but its perfectly fine to mutilate and kill people?
that is the mentality of christians and other religious freaks - the morons that make our laws.

Run of the mill Atom netbook for Grandma who justs surfs the net to read and type e-mails.

Most everyone under the age of 50 are wanting to watch HD netflix, Youtube and everything else multimedia and modern need to look at Atom+ION or AMD C-30, C-50 or E-350 netbooks. This is cold for 99.9% of folks in this forum unless it sells for $99

Staples had the Acer 1410 SU3500 ( better performance than any ATOM out there ) with 11.6" screen, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, 6 Cell Battery, HDMI output AND a Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade ( free from Microsoft ) all for the price of $299.00...a year ago is much better than this...

I bought two of them and couldn't be happier ....Yes... even then one can play HD.. 1080i (720p) mode..

Acer 1410 uses the GMA 4500MHD which far superior to the GMA 3150 found in the Hp Mini featured in this thread.

Flash GPU acceleration is supported in the GMA 4500MHD but will never be supported in the GMA 3150.
