i was expecting this, but netbooks have cheap fans. (a 12" notebook is not much bigger than a 8.9" netbook with 2 inches of useless plastic bezel)

x200 makes zero noise,
is only slightly warm to the touch in one corner,
 chip temp 70C

when the 1.86g compiling gentoo stuff continuously with -j4

plus the chipset on the netbooks, HDs, screens, all make up the largest fraction of energy usage

so the low chip TDP is a gimmick when you consider its fractional performance of ~10 more watt peak TDP

you wanna buyy my aspire one?
