Drawbacks -- Adobe doesn't support MIPS processors, so this laptop can only run the FOSS versions of flash and .pdf. That's still more flash support than the iP

  Its got a pretty anemic processor, so I don't think the lack of flash will be that devastating. It wouldn't run it very well anyway.

    Assuming it's the NB0700 from the manufacturer's page: http://hvsco.com/sp_qx.asp?id=75 http://hvsco.com/sp_qx.asp?id=75 It has a VIA C7-M 1.6GHz. Assuming this RISC is comparable to the 900MHz CISC intel processor of the eeePC, the eeePC is fine for (most) flash, including (some) games. Flashlessness is a killer IMHO.

      The XO has a hard time with Flash, but can sort of almost play YouTube low quality videos. It's got a 400MHz CPU. So, I'd say a 900MHz equivalent will definitely play most low-bandwidth Flash content. And, I'm not sure I agree that not having it makes the system useless...I lived without video on the web for the first two years or so that I was on the net (using an Amiga--Real video was the format du jour back then, and they obviously did not have an Amiga player). It was still a seriously useful part of my life. While I think it'll have to have video for US buyers, since YouTube is such a core part of the online experience now, it wouldn't for folks in places where real broadband is not yet available. Without broadband video isn't useful option, anyway.

        Hey, I didn't mean it would be useless, just a killer for mainstream success. I gravely agree that more internet --> less productivity. :-(
