    I think it would be cool if AMD entered the computer manufacturing market. They could have a price advantage in using there own parts in computers.

    Ya, the GPU, CPU, Chipset, and all would be AMD, making it cheaper.

    And the perfect place to position their Fusion line in the near future.

    This is definitely the apt market segment for system-on-a-chip.

    The AMD one is running a Turion though, on the RS690 chipset. Not quite the Atom competitor.

    I'd go for the acer aspire 1, the upcoming dell inspiron mini look pretty cool.
