Intet’s Atom could never really be called a performer and it wasn’t traditionally designed to be. It seems the N550 is set to change that slightly, with its ability to outmatch the SU3300 (Core 2 Solo).
The N550 can do this by being the first portable Atom with dual cores (similar to the 330 and D510). To give you an idea it is around twice as fast as the current N450. For more information, just over to Liliputing.

Everex have been getting a lot of media time of late. They seem to make really check PC’s that give pretty good value. The latest computer to be released is the mini gPC, and is focused directly at the Mac Mini.
Inside you get an 1.86GHz Intel Dual-Core Mobile Processor T2130 (1MB L2 Cache, 1.86GHz, 533MHz), 120GB Hard Disk Drive, 512MB DDR2 667 SDRAM, DVD+/-RW, Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator GMA950, Realtek ALC268 High-Definition Audio, 10/100/1000 Ethernet Port, DVI-I Port, S-Video Port, IEEE 1394 Port, USB 2.0 Ports, 4-in1 Media Card Reader, Headphone/Line-Out Port, Microphone/Line-In Port. All this for as little as $US499.
It also comes with the custom Linux OS, that they seem to put on all the Everex gear, but considering you can get a notebook with better hardware for around the same price, it isn’t as sweet a deal as the other Everex PC’s. To top it off, it isn’t very attractive to look at, which is a small thing, but if you pay the cash you’d expect a little nicer design.
