it's very rare to find a netbook that has integrated graphics card. the nb555D/nb550D combines the graphics card, as well a good audio card, as well as a subwoofer and harman speakers.
this would probably be the best computer to have a pixel qi screen with. bestbuy is currently selling them for under 400 bucks US. if anyone knows if it's compatible, please post.
i hope they start to make netbooks more powerful. atom sucks. i hope pixel qi starts to make bigger screen sizes
u should be able to manually put in more ram. the integrated ATI graphics, and dual core should make up for it.
no, i did not. someone i guess is going to have to experiment first and report back. haha, i'd do it, but right now cash is tight =(
good thing is that if you're in north america, i believe best buy is selling them for something under $300. as they have a no hassle return policy, one could buy it from them, and return it if the screen is not compatible.
it really is annoying pixel qi hasn't joined up with a major computer company, instead of these no-namers.
good news: * has a 40 pin connector, located in the right place: lower left. it's smaller than the 30 pin connector, and it provides power, as there's no separate power cable. so it looks like it's compatible with the 3Qi screen. * I was able to install 4GB of ram. however, I could only find 1 sodimm slot, but it accepts a 4GB stick. note that the ati board seems to always reserve 25% of the installed ram. So you'll get 3gb + 1gb video * 1M superpi in 76 seconds
bad news: * i couldnt find a way to turn off the backlight without turning off the whole screen. any help on that? * video doesn't seem that fast in 2d, but it at least has better linux support than the intel ones.
can provide pictures of the dissasembled netbook if there's any interest.
