[QUOTE="technologist, post: 991524, member: 4134"] Sorry, but you just asked for "all the computing and graphics power" in a "netbook size" machine. Even with infinite funds, that technology just does not exist. Netbooks use low-power CPUs that are far slower than the slowest MacBook Air. Putting a MacBook Air's CPU into a 10-inch-screen laptop would make it about two inches [i]thick[/i] with all the space that the cooling and battery would require. With all the ports and graphics you're talking about, it would probably be at least three inches thick, and would still probably have pretty lousy battery life and be hot to the touch. So, if you were asking for a laptop the shape of a Kleenex box.... [/QUOTE]
