Look good, but what's with the 16:9 obsession? Isn't 16:10 more usable as it has more vertical room and close enough to 16:9 that movies can still play ok?

They're advertising HD on a 10" screen now? Lol thats laughable. I can barely stand HD on my Dell 24". But I guess if you are on the go, this dell mini would be a good alternative to those outdated portable dvd players.

I would love 720P on my netbook. I use an HP Mini 1000 with Windows 7. Vista and 7 both do very good jobs at scaling texts to readable levels on high resolution screens. I would take the improved picture quality and screen real estate in a heartbeat, assuming a proper GPU was included in the deal. 720P on the same crappy Atom chipset isn't going to do you a damn bit of good but cause you a bunch of heartache.

Most likely: late April.
