Darkage, I am honestly with you, I already had one (LT3103u), its really better than general 10inch netbook with 800x600/ 1024x600.. LT3103 can upgrade from 2GB to 4GB RAM for multi-task, (did you know that?).. Mm, Yes Purple offered netbook for 149-bragin bucks! but screen resolution is issues and limits. it can't multi-tasks .. thats SUCKS..

what about video steams on 11.6 with amd cpu? it looks much better and running smooth than atom netbook. this is good example comparison.

1) Yes it called CULV laptop.

2) Yes thats true. but I dislike how 10inch netbook's screen resolution size (1024x600) and limit for program you install.. for instance you can't install adobe "high-end" Photoshop on the 10inch netbook.

thats what i had experienced with own between two 10 netbook and 11.6 culv. 11.6 inch culv netbook is better than 10inch, IMHO..

I live away 8 miles from ROCKLIN.

Right, Almost netbooks' webcam are all CMOS sensors. CMOS sensor s battery life is longer than CCD sensor. I tried to use my Logitech notebook webcam onto my netbook. It's video was very clear and brighter. TechBill, do you know to mean what s difference between CMOS sensor and CCD sensor?

2) Yes you can. Just hook it up to an external monitor. Then you can install whatever you want. However, netbooks are not designed for graphics intense applicati0ons. Even the 11.6 netbook will struggle with that.

TechBill

Yes I know the difference,

But you still not get my point.


.

dkf747

Did you both get the same netbook? There are 2 different ones now. Just curious.

TechBill

Yeah both are the same Mini10 Netbook with 160G HHD

It not the older mini10v with 16G SSD






I took photo sample use webcam central screenshot both sit on my desk and same room light and I hold bag cough drop then hit screenshot. You can see mine very dark than my dad.

My Purple Netbook








My Dad Purple Netbook




I check webcam driver and both same driver version too.

Also remember I hold cough drop bag near webcam camera.

If my face and hands sit correct distance it will my face and hands in dark but my Dad purple Netbook you can see my face and hands very clearly.

Thank you for good example comparison.
I do not surprised to see AMD's L110 faster than Atom. Yes, I know Gateway LT3103 can go up to 4gb memory

Few weeks ago, I bought HP with Intel T4200 with 320HDD for under $300. I rather to have fast CPU, great than 250 gb HDD and lower price better than Gateway's Netbook $379. Of course, I love to have ultra-lightweight but important for me to be happy with fast CPU, useful with softwares and lowest price.

If, they sell Gateway LT3103 for $175 or Purple P3 Netbook for $149. That's harder for me to pick one of few different models but probably, I will go with Gateway LT3103 and still use my 4 or 5 years old Toshiba laptop with Duo2Core. So, I can install Win 7 on Gateway LT3103 better than Netbook with 16gb SSD.

This Sept 28th, I will get Win 7 from Microsoft's Event. Not have to wait until Windows 7 launch on Oct 22th.

My friend and I called testing my P3 (laptop) and her P3 netbook (mini 9) last night and discovered that hers feed is slow that caused garble and freezing.

Her ISP is RR high speed broadcast while she uses wifi on the same router (good one but forgot which brand) so it should be ok yet we were perplexed. Then I suggested her to test her other P3 on her pc and her own webcam, and it ran much better.

Anybody using mini 9 - P3 netbook... does your video run good, not garble or freeze at all so far?

My other friend who lives in deep country has a P3 software on his pc but not as fast as ours yet his P3 and my P3 run real good so that is why it perlexes me about hers (mini 9 P3 netbook) running awful slow.

What solution do you think that she needs to fix?

I finally got my Purple Netbook today! And, now I am waitin' for someone to install it for me --- the one who worked for Purple.

Can't wait to chat with someone through my Netbook!! Heh heh

dkf747

If you both were using the same wireless network at the same time, it is possible cause of that. I noticed that on my mini 9. I also noticed that when the lighting is bad that the video gets garbled. Those are two things that I noticed. Most of the time I have no problems.

web730

No, we aren't sharing the same wireless network here (p2p from state to other state). We knew about the lighting so it wasn't her issue here... she had good light front of her.

Most of times on your part it works good, hmm thanks.

I suspect it might be due to her wifi router itself, maybe. She tested it real close to her wifi router, by the way.

My Netbook is set and ready to use after installation. Yay!! The video pic looks good. Now, I am lookin' for a small size suitcase for my Netbook to carry. LOL

I am glad that I ordered it!

Maria

Okay, here's an email I received from one of my friends today. I want you to tell me if, this is true or not. Is this happenin' to some of you with your P3 ? Let me show you a video here:

JClarke

According to this video, as I believe you own the same, did you have any similar problem?

__________________

Maria

No. I received my P3 Netbook about 2 weeks ago. Still new. It's why I asked to some of you who had their P3 Netbook for a long time -- to see, if there's any problem with their P3 Netbook. Just tell me if it is true or not.

JClarke

Maybe it was affected to the first generation of P3 distrubitions?

Do you have your own P3 ?

Maria, I know about problem with Dell netbook about BSOD. It causes the motherboard to “brick” up and the motherboard is rendered useless. There have been several incidents so far, and the Tech Department is working on this and the blue screen issue.

I understand what you say about WiFi hotspots. I always use tethering netbook from my iPhone. Work great with P3. but some customers can't afford to pay expensive wireless mobile network about $60/mo.

Most of the time BSOD is caused by bad software memory leak.

I have been using NetBook with no problem and maybe this person have a software installed (not P3) but a different software that is causing memory leak and crashing when P3 is running.

So I would remove all other applications that was recently installed and only have P3 running to confirm it not the other software.

When one software is running then it step on another software like P3 footprint in the memory stick then it will crash and BSOD or if it leaking memory not returning unused memory so other applications software can use it then it will also crash.


About the WIFI hotspot ....

In my business I am require to travel every week so I know all the good spot to find the WIFI

First she said McDonald you had to pay .... You still can get free WIFI at McDonald if you buy food and ask for a WIFI card then it will give you free code number to enter to get FREE WIFI for a couple of hours.

My best WIFI spot I need when I travel are motels .. They are opened and free WIFI so I always pull into motel parking lots and use the internet to make calls or check websites then get back on the highway.

Few motels require a code from Front Desk so I walk in and explain I am Deaf and need internet to make relay call then front desk clerk nice to give me code to use internet in their lobby.

Some fancy Hotels like rich people Hotel which room are costly a night it will ask for credit card for WIFI so avoid fancy hotel .. go to regular franchic motels like Super8 or Day Inn etc .. all open free WIFI and can be pick up in parking lots.

Library is another good spot too she mentioned but limited in town or hard to locate quickly unless you have a GPS with you.

Some Taco Bell are offering WIFI as well too ...

Almost all private own coffee shop (not franchics ones like Starbuck) offer free open WIFI and one she tried to remember is called Panera Bread and is free but mostly found in major cities only.

There are thousands of free WIFI spot but motels are the best and easiest to find quickly in each town when traveling even in small town

But small town motels uses like Hughes Satellite DirectWay Internet which doesn't work too good with P3 or Video Phone.

.

Maria

Ahh, thanks TechBill! I will check with all of your information around here. I will take your advice about motels ( not fancy ones ) I can use. There's one Starbuck in Ft Myers... they charge about $ 20 buck a month. Forget it. LOL

I will follow what you suggest/advice above. Let's hope it helps. Once again, thanks!
