@ Hugo it still has two memory card slots, one for Memory Stick and one for SD card, dunno why Sony couldn't just add a single slot that takes both formats like most netbook/notebook manufacturers do
Well it is better to have two. One can be used as an excellent and cheap way to augment the space with extra flash memory. The Duo has a thereotical limit of 2TB. If the SD slot is also compatible with the new SDXC format, than that too has a thereotical limit of 2TB.
N280 not state of the art? It's the latest N series Atom. The N280 is so bleeding edge that it doesn't even appear in Intel's product lists - I've just checked (the N270 is there). I have e-mailed Intel so hopefully they'll rectify it toot sweet.
Interestingly a 2Ghz Z550 has turned up drawing about the same power as an N270. Might perform about the same now too.
Hugo, what are you on about? What does the N280 has to do with the 965GSE (whatever that is?).
Old? There's really only one Atom chipset for the N-series (Diamondville) processors and it's the 945GSE, as the GN40 never seem to have ended up in a retail product.
The N280 is the latest and most likely the last Diamondville core Atom processor we'll see in a netbook, as Intel is moving on to the Pineview platform which builds on the current Z-series of Atom processors.
Considering how shite the GMA500 is in the US15W chipset, it's no wonder people are sticking with the almost as crappy 945GSE, as at least it has mature, working drivers.
The N-series Atom platform is also in general far cheaper than Z-series based netbooks, so again, does it make sense to go with a "newer" platform just because it's "newer" rather than to go with something that's tried and tested and meet people's expectations?
