Is this going to be fast enough to run low-key video editing software? (6 GB RAM version), Any problems with wi-fi connectivity? Strength of Hinges?

My laptop came with 4 GB RAM, I added 4 GB RAM. Should be fine, I use Microsoft Movie Maker and Cyberlink WaveEditor 2 and there are no problems. WI-FI works great, no connectivity problems. Hinges are good, I don't open and close it a lot.

It should work well, since you already have the minimum config for it to run. I have seen it running on a 1 RAM, and 1.7 ghz, thus you should be fine. All you might get is a 5,5 ms latency, but that is nothing to worry, since it is a reasonable latency and will run fine.

:) As long as you are not doing major gaming or video editing you will be fine. I am curious about the inability to add ram on the U120's though. That seems like a stupid move considering the U100's were great for their flexibility, eg. Various upgrade options including ram, ability to run windows 7, OSx86, and various others. Is this confirmed or just rumor? I was about to buy one but that is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

Maybe if you need it for an intensive use like video edition or rendering. Then for a normal use ( up to amateur photoshop use for example ) is ok. It has never go slow for having 5 to 10 programs running at the same time ( chrome, word, powerp, photoshop, illustrator, etc)

That mostly depends on the software you get, but the hardware is more than able to use that software to edit video with minimal lag.

Thanks. I am assuming from all these answers that the Eee PC processor (Atom N270 or N280) is beefy enough to show the video without jerkiness or other problems?

I would have to say yes it would be fast enough (7200 rpm) to edit video. I use it to cut dialogue on feature films and another as a backup.

this depends on what the main task is. If you are using it for email and internet then you are good to go. If you are going to do some photoshop editing and 3d modeling then way too low. Hopefully this help.

Sorry, don't watch many videos on it, but I can say it is quite fast so shouldn't be a problem.

It would work, but it's kind of slow - even when doing things like just web surfing and opening files. You could spend a little more and get something with noticeably better performance, and you would be happier. But if this is all you can afford, I think it's not a bad choice.

Thanks! I appreciate the information. I'll probably buy the U100 (aren't lower numbers usually cheaper?), or maybe the Acer equivalent or even the Asus, though that seems to be a bit heavier. (I'd welcome opinions on the relative merits of these computers.)

Not being an expert all I can say is when I bought it I consulted an expert and he said as long as I am not doing film editing this computer will work for me. It is not a quad processor, but a dual. It is however, plenty fast for me.

Get the 830D; use Win7 64 bit and try to get 4 gig ram... Runs fast and cool.

The only possible fly in the ointment with this configuration would be that the P67 motherboard may need a BIOS update prior to using the Ivy Bridge CPU. Otherwise, these items should work together very well. The i7 is fine if you intend to do a lot of heavy duty video editing work, etc. but I find, for most people, unnecessary. And if you go to Newegg you could pick up the XFX FX-785A-ZNL4 HD7850 for about the same price. Just saying.

Absolutely. You won't have any trouble running 64bit Windows or apps like Photoshop CC.
