The biggest change for 2010 is the use (pretty much right across the board) of Intel's newest Atom processor. Part of Intel's Pine Trail chip line, the N450's processor speed remains the same as last year's top-of-the- line N280 processor at 1.66 GHz, but it increases the front- side bus speed to 667 MHz. But more than speed, the N450 helps to increase the battery life in this year's crop of netbooks by incorporating the memory and graphics controllers onto the processor... For the most part, the basic specs on the new crop of netbooks are very similar. In addition to the N450 processor, you get a 10-inch screen, typically 160 or 250 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM, and either Windows XP or Windows 7 Starter operating system.

Interesting! While my Gateway M465e isn't a notebook, but it has a claim of 7 hours of battery life. Although I don't see that much. I guess I have to buy a high compacity main battery and an optional second battery to see that much. -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) 2 of 3 - Windows XP SP3
