    Hello guys,

    I'm looking for a netbook on which I can do some small programming in Java and PHP, and occasionally watch YouTube and movies via HDMI on my TV. It should be able to run smoothly Eclipse and WAMP Server.

    I found these two models, 1015N with ION graphics and to-come 1015B based on AMD Fusion C-50 Dualcore.

    What's your opinion on this, should I wait for 1015B or go with 1015N?

    My priorities are:
    1. Smooth running Eclipse, Wamp and PHPDesigner
    2. Good battery life
    3. HDMI
    4. USB 3.0

    :)

    Hi,

    I've decided to buy a Lenovo S205 (it's only available in Europe, but in the USA equivalent model would be a X100e). It runs on a AMD Fusion Zacarte E-350 and has a 11.6' display which I found much better then a 10.1'
