Its basically for people who want a nice little notebook which can be easily carried around whole day long and is good enough for normal net browsing etc
As for the Via Nano, there are as of Yet NO Netbooks based on the design
What they have given is tests etc by Via itself ( i think )
Also, the Nano will consume a lot more power than the Atom as well, so battery life will probably take a hit.
The Atom Chipset (Pauloso or something) will really bring down power requirements once it comes out and hopefully battery life improves a lot
@techie…I didn’t get you…The tests were done by via?
Also when nano was compared its idle power consumption was lower than atom&under load it was up by few watts…Even though it runs at 1.8ghz&having 800mhz fsb…
I meant that quite a lot of the quotes/benchmarks etc (including 1 infamous one showing Via Vs Atom playing 1080P) were initially released by Via. The 1080p one was subsequently debunked at a lot of places.
TDP of ONLY 5W, so suited for even smaller devices.
Newer chipset yet to come which will consume even lesser power.
Brand Intel will sell it like crazy :P, easy availability
Cons:
Lower performance.
The endpoint is that the Nano is supposed to be good from what has been revealed so far, but theres nothin in the market yet. Once it comes then only we can see performance/battery life etc. Same goes for the upcoming Atom Chipset too
So lets see how it goes
Me I prefer performance, if Via can offer it, with decent battery life, Via it is
