Most netbooks will be able to smoothly play videos with resolution lower than 720i.
nearly all current netbooks with screen size of 9 to 10 inches have a screen resolution of roughly 1000x600. But it's more than enough to view videos downloaded from the internet. That is exactly what I use my MSi Wind for when I am in transit either on plane, train or bus (tour bus).
Even my previous netbook, the Acer Aspire One 110 (priced at P12,999) was more than enough to playback videos.

GH, how much is was the 9 cell battery, also how much is a 6 cell battery?
I was having an idea of cost cutting by implementing Netbooks to replace desktop PC in our company. It will definitely save on the cost of UPS and annual maintenance cost. It will also bring savings to electricity cost (low power per user and lower airconditioning cost).

if you're going for a net-top, wait for the Acer Atom with nVidia 9400M this coming June.
but personally, i say you go for Dual Core laptops instead. Compaq CQ40 14" wide 2.0GHz 1GB DVD-RAM RW is like 25k lang.

The problem with laptops is they have smaller than standard desktop keyboards, not to mention that they are not as easy to replace. Alam mo naman, ang mga users natin sa network, walang pakialam sa mga gamit (pero hindi ko naman nilalahat).
Granted, you can always replace them with USB keyboards (and trackpads can be replaced by USB Mice), but that's beside the point. Besides, if the built-in keyboard gets damaged, it will only be wasting work space. :smiley:
I'd also go for the Asus EEE Box (net-top). Hmmm... sa tingin ko, ganito na rin ang gagamitin kong internet gateway and workstation sa susunod. May linux support naman ang Asus, e.Last edited by woohoo; April 16th, 2009 at 11:36 AM.

Definitely worth the wait, I'm still not satisfied with the present MSI Wind 100 config.

Arguing against using laptops/netbooks isn't going dissuade a lot of people since they have been doing this for quite some time already. A lot of multinational companies often issue laptop to their people because it is cost efficient. Laptops/notebooks/netbooks tend to be made more durable especially in places where people often use it like the keyboard and mouse pointer devices. These tend to last longer than your typical cheap desktop keyboard and mouse. Although laptops/netbooks are still machines and will fail some day, that day would be far in the future.
As for the small keyboard... if one will be using it at the office, you can always connect a standard keyboard and mouse for ease of use. The main point of a portable computer is that it is a portable computer where you can take your work anywhere you wish. You won't even need a permanently assigned table to work so it is possible to have common area tables instead of permanent cubicles. All you'll need is a lockable set of drawers on wheels to keep your personal stuff in and close to you while in the office.

(I just want to clarify why I was dissuading Mile2 (yes, *only* Mile2!) from using notebooks as replacements for his company's desktops)
After Mile2 voiced out his idea of replacing desktops with netbooks, you suggested net-tops instead:
HP was dissuading Mile2 from using net-tops and persuading him to go for notebooks. So I tried to counter that not because notebooks are (arguably) not as long-lasting as desktops but because I was thinking of replacing our company's desktop PC's with net-tops instead of desktops -- I am not considering giving out PC's to our employees for them to take home. I was merely realizing the workspace they can recover if they switch from desktop to net-top, not to mention the savings in electricity because of low-power consumption from the PC's and more "resting" time for the A/C's. This is also Mile2's goal, not portability.Last edited by woohoo; April 16th, 2009 at 02:35 PM.
