The demise of netbooks has been greatly exaggerated, with a $400-ish price tag and at least as much power as a tablet but without the added costs or contracts, there is still a large market for these devices.  The incredible sales figures we saw when this form factor originally came out will never be reached again but there still are a lot of people buying netbooks.  Up for review by Matt is the HP Mini 210 with a Atom N455 and Intel’s older GMA 3150 graphics inside.  Is it worth saving $100 by choosing a single core netbook instead of a dual core?  Read on to find out.

"This praise aside, the HP Mini 210, like most traditional single-core netbooks, sits in a market position that is increasingly awkward. The problem is the lower prices of dual-core netbooks and budget ultraportables. The HP dm1z has now been reduced to an MSRP of $449.99, and the Eee PC 1215B’s initial price of $450 has already been knocked down to about $435 on Amazon. These dual-core AMD Fusion powered netbooks are substantially quicker than the HP Mini 210, but only $100 more."
