Ok here is the deal. At the end of the year, I am going to be passing down my lenovo ideapad s12 to my daughter so she can use it for her schoolwork etc. I have upgraded it to 3gb of ram and I like everything about this computer except the crappy atom cpu. I want to find a replacement for it that has a bit more cpu horsepower. The budget on this is somewhat flexible but I don't want it going anywhere near a grand, so things like macbook airs and vaios are out of the question. I think I paid $399.00 for this one when it was new. I had hoped that there would be some more Llano designs coming out in smaller form factors but haven't seen any yet? So what would be best to go for, something like a E-450 or a i3 or what? I guess everything by now has gone to 16:9 as well that is one thing I liked about the ideapad was it was 16:10. The netbook I have now has hdmi out it would be nice to have that, but anyway if anyone has suggestions I'd appreciate it!
