One more thing that I love about atom netbooks.

They don't overheat. It is almost impossible to overheat these netbooks.

Some years ago, I was doing video encoding on a Pentium 2 notebook. I remember how if I put my nose near the fan exhaust during encoding, it smelled like burning electronics. It was very hot.

My atom netbook never even comes close to being hot. I elevate the netbook a little while encoding HDV so that the bottom is not sitting flat on the table. This allows air to flow under the netbook. After several hours of HDV encoding, the bottom is just a little warm. The keyboard never feels hot.
