Right.

Right.  Sorry that I wasn't clearer.  Just like Atom.

Actually the Atom is worse: it comes with a licensing agreement which
limits what you (the OEM board-maker) can allow the system to do.

The E-350 and E-450 chips take a fair bit more power than the atom
(double?) and have better performance.  So the C-60 is a better
parallel.

I have a netbook with a C-50.

I see a fair number of low-end laptops with E-450.  My impression is
that its CPU performs more like an Atom than an i3.

We have three of these E-350 based nettops:

I really liked them at $100 (no RAM, no HDD) last year but I'm not quite as
excited at $166 (current Newegg.ca price including shipping).
