Netbooks Are Losing Steam?

[ElPolloDiabl]

I'm waiting for AMD to enter the market more. You get a budget cpu, but decent graphics. On a laptop I'm not really after a top of the line cpu, but I want good graphics.
Wait till AMD enter the netbook market and you'll be able to get yourself a nice mini rig.

So was the original post just opinion or was there something he heard or read?
What I've read is that they are still seeing strong growth in sales. Although with more low spec AMDs and Celeron/Pentium in the same price range the definition of a Netbook is blurred.

The latest version of flash for Mac got graphics processor acceleration. They couldn't do this previously because Apple wouldn't let them at the APIs.

RE: Any design they want

They can't produce an itanium. They can't produce a GPGPU. Really there is probably only a handful of engineers (spread across the big 3) who can make things go faster. Intel's graphics division seems to have Cyrix's philosophy, make em cheap, but fast enough at office programs.
