This is the 1st review ive read where theyve mentioned it being hot. Other reviewers actually gave temperatures and they were all around 30C, which isnt hot.
What about the noise?

Good spot Ray, thanks for pointing out the typo. Yes, it is 1.6GHz, we’ve amended. Cheers!

I thought the Atom N330 was 1.6ghz dual core. Review states 1.3

Not sure why everyone is turned off all of the sudden by this “review”. It should be expected that with the Ion and dual core atom, the temperature is going to be higher than other netbooks. Battery life is also decent as well, considering how much better this netbook will be over others. I’m picking up one regardless, but I’m also still interested in some detailed information like how well certain games run and an overall performance review. The only thing this review turns me off of is coming back to this site for review information…there really isn’t any information to it.

I think this review just turned off at least half of the people waiting eagerly on this netbook. The way you have described it, it is great, but HOT as hell (lit). I was thinking of using it during my 3 hour public transit every day. I guess the heat won’t help me much. I wonder if the heat is simply because of the hardware, or perhaps this early version had some firmware problems causing overheating, like the Dell laptops recently fixed with a firmware update. Anyways, good to know ahead of time. Thanks a lot for the review. Please post a more detailed one, once the laptop is available to the masses.

you call this a review? surely this can be more detailed. where are the FPS for 1080p? for games? PCMark, FutureMark, Sandra, etc. scores?!?

Think I may pass on it now. Doesn’t sound all that good.

I guess I’ll wait for other models then. Hot netbooks are really not my thing.
