    on the subject of tablets, what are people's opinions on the Dell Inspiron Duo? It has the correct resolution for the snap feature at 1366X768 and a dual core Atom... but the GMA isn't exactly a powerful chip at all really, I've heard the Duo is vastly improved by a solid state though. what does everyone think, is it a good thing to buy in preparation for Windows 8?

    Honestly? "No"
    What we see next year will pretty much stamp everything into oblivion in the portable space
    (thinner, faster, lasting longer, cheaper)

    The Duo doesnt have a good battery, it's also kinda fat and slow, don't expect any proper GPU accelerating

    lol
    There is one 809X, that's sure :D Maybe two...
    Maybe one 802X, and a 805X... I really don't know
    And, there is no download links... The builds are not on a server (at least not HTTP/FTP Server)

    PS : good job can for your 5005 posts :D

    canouna just shows 1 picture and everyone start to talk about it.
    He does not want to say/show the build numbers, so don't ask him.
