i was expecting this, but netbooks have cheap fans. (a 12" notebook is not much

x200 makes zero noise,
is only slightly warm to the touch in one corner,
chip temp 70C
when the 1.86g compiling gentoo stuff continuously with -j4
plus the chipset on the netbooks, HDs, screens, all make up the largest fraction of energy
usage
so the low chip TDP is a gimmick when you consider its fractional performance of ~10 more
watt peak TDP
you wanna buyy my aspire one?
at 700 USD, you can get a low-end/high-power
entry-level Core2/AMD
notebook from Acer/HP/etc.. which will blow away the Atom for audio
work.
...and weigh three to four times as much, and take up at least double the
volume, and make more noise.
