There are a couple of things that are wrong with the Asus. I had the 1000H for 2 weeks and had to return it to Amazon. (I now own the Acer Aspire One). Problems with 1000H: 1. I thought that the right shift key was something that I can get used to...not. I couldn't get used it. 2. It's heavier than the competition. 3. It had a defect in the keyboard. The middle section of the board would sink down when I pressed the letters...U, Y, H, or N. Once it sank, it would stay there and "snap" back up into place. 4. This might be a little picky, but the LED status light (for the battery) starts blinking way too early and gets very annoying. It starts to blink when your battery goes down to 80%!! So, for the next 2 to 4 hours, you will be constantly distracted by that dumb blinking light. This feature should not kick in until about 20% battery life. 5. Overall build quality is lacking, such as inconsistent gaps, uneven mating surfaces...etc. The only good thing about the 1000H was its matte screen.

accelero s1 passive cooler also a good choice...drop 35 deg. off of stock. For the money the XFX is the best card for the buck...if you got the XXX version. ....and do you care what the card looks like in the case, or on your screen?

They are the same thing....You're just paying for the name. Galaxy make's 90 percent of cards out there, but Evga/Nvidia Just slaps the name on it.

MSI has made some good motherboards for high end workstation chipsets for years. They may sell more outside the US, which explains why people haven't seen them much here. I have built several systems on MSI boards and I have no complaints.But that's also a limited statement. I haven't had to contact customer support so I have no idea how good it is or isn't. Their play on ultracompacts is somewhat risky with everything coming to market soon from all the big names. Let's see if beating the rush by a few months buys them some time.

The N110 I guess is the new generation overlapping the NC10 SE...I cant believe Samsung did this so soon, it hasnt been a month since they NCSE 10 has started shipping to people. That graphic card memory difference could have been nice for the same price. I still have no idea if the matte screen is better or the glossy screen that is claimed to be on the N110

I would opt for the msi card especially if you plan on overclocking. The triple over voltage of the msi card will give you higher stable overclocks. It also runs extremely silent compared to the evga blower style cooling system. Just my two cents :).

I would say much better. A friend bought a 7750 and took it back to get this card for just $30 more. He said it was a big improvement. I stay away from the Catalyst drivers, they seem buggy.

I have this computer; the Lenovo S10. I enjoy it very much. But this is not a new machine, and shouldn't be something you are waiting to receive. I would suggest that you cancel your order and order again through another supplier. It's there on newegg.com for the same price and free shipping.If you can get by with a HDD of 80 Gb, you can even save some money. If you order the model with 512 Mb of RAM, or even 1Gb, it's easily upgraded to the maximum of 2 Gb by investing an additional $20 in a 2Gb RAM stick. Installing it takes under 5 minutes.Finally, if money is not an issue, and you would like something similar with a 6-cell battery, take a look at the Samsung NC-10.

Thanks for the advice. I'm currently holding off on a new video card, because my desktop would require a new power source and fan to run it. (I actually have a power source/fan combo that I could install, but I like the quiet, low power status quo.) I guess I should pick a monitor that can keep up when I finally bite the bullet and get a card, though.

I believe it's the MSI PE(power edition) 2GB GTX 660 Ti, just search MSI GTX 660 Ti in Newegg. MSRP is $279 ~ $299 now. 5~6/2013.

They removed the prices soon after I posted my warning that first day. ;) It was $549. The XP version is *supposed* to be $499 with a 6 cell battery according to the MSI press release. As for the battery - there are many reports of 6 cell battery shortages that may affect the first shipments of Winds. We don't know yet for sure. But the first shipments of Win XP Winds may only have 3 cells. If true, the price should be LOWERED to reflect the smaller battery. Not raised to fleece impatient buyers.

I'm on the fence too, but I think I'm going to go with the 770 over 1100. I've researched the two from tech site to tech site and they've all pointed to the 770 over the 1100. 10mps for $159 with free shipping isn't too shabby. If it turns out to be junk at least I'll give an honest review.

AJ, etc. I currently have the new Samsung 6900. It does not have these issues at all, but I am in the process of returning to Amazon due to the fact that I can only get 4 mpps over wireless, yet I have a 20Mpps network. I ordered the Panisonic BD-85 which should arrive Wednesday. On the Samsung you CAN view and even search for movies in Netflix, then choose and watch and the GUI interface is fantastic. If the Pany won't do it, I'll be returning both. Guess I got a bad 6900 as it is CNET's best of 2010.

The GTX is better except for the noise and power consumption. About this A8 processor being an APU, it is natural that the temperature is slightly higher than similar ones without the integrated graphic card. Still, way to far from being considered risky. This processor is really amazing and it's worth every cent.

Yeah, I can see where a sinking keyboard would be a bit of a turnoff. I didn't experience that with a unit I borrowed, but it might be a quality control issue. I found the shift key placement to be largely a non-issue for me and found myself more annoyed with the MSI Wind's mini-period and mini-comma keys. Drove me crazy.I do like the Samsung Netbook. I may just wait for the post-Xmas Desperation Sale to buy it either here or at Newegg.

Yeah Damon, I think and feel the same way as you do. I had exactly the same untimely response as you did! What a joke GE Money Bank is!!! But, I still thought the 31% off the MSRP of $3500 was a killer offer I couldn't refuse! Now, I see that Samsung has reduced the MSRP to $3200, w/Amazon currently selling at 22% off ~ still not as hot a deal, but pretty darn good- I feel that, that price will probably drop another 4-7% over the next month though! So, why not take the plunge then, and just plop it on another card?

thanks for your response.Do you (or anyone with a good understanding of this) think it's worth spending $50 to upgrade from what I currently have?) I purchased the samsung hd monitor and thought the upgrade would provide better video.any thoughts?
