Netbooks are great as a business tool for those on the move but shouldn’t be mistaken for Laptops, they lack the advantages of a laptop (missing DVD Rom etc) but make up for it in mobility. If your looking for something light and easy for business use but dont want to fork out for an ipad (NO USB PORTS!) then a netbook is just the tool.

I’m not sure about the new Atom chips as I haven’t been able to test one yet. I’m not sure they’re even available right now.

The new Atom chips would support the applications you mentioned, as would the Echo series we currently carry. That said, it’s definitely not going to be as smooth an experience as with a normal desktop machine. For applications like Second Life, you’re going to be better off with an older-generation Atom processor paired with the nVidia ION chipset. Intel’s integrated video still has a long way to go if they want to compete with nVidia’s graphics chipsets.

The Echo systems we sell have nVidia graphics which result in better system performance for most, if not all of your intended applications when compared to a system using Intel’s integrated graphics.

What about the new Atom chips D525 and D425, which support DDR3 memory? Can they support Hulu, Second Life and basic video editing?

Are you planning to update your Echo series with either of these new chips plus DDR3 memory?

I agree 100% with Mr. Millard. I’ve owned a netbook now for 2 years and use it primarily for genealogy research field trips. Using its 3 USB ports, I’ve also been able to run externals like a CD-ROM drive and scanner off the netbook battery without any power bricks or need for an outlet. Look for websites devoted to specific makes and models with forum user tips and white papers on options for maximizing their strengths and minimizing their weaknesses. I use the big desktop at home and thank Puget Systems for its performance!
