Since the advent of Intel's Atom processor, the netbook market has exploded with entrants from nearly every major notebook player (and even a few minor ones). It's easy to see why; in a tiny package with a low power envelope and even lower price, the Atom offers adequate performance for the sort of basic needs the original Eee PC was conceived to meet. However, while the processor is quick enough for web surfing, word processing, and other simple tasks, it's saddled with an Intel 945GSE chipset that includes an antiquated GMA 950 graphics processor. The GMA 950 handles basic 2D desktop applications just fine, but it can't lend a hand in decoding high-definition video.
