With the size and power of the most recent series of netbooks, I wondered why anybody would spend $700.00 for a P2000 etc. Now I see a possible reason.

I recently bought a Lenovo 10" (1MB and 160GB) and an Acer AspireOne 8.9" (1MB and 120GB). Both have the Atom processor and a card reader installed. Both fit in the outside pocket of my camera bag.

HOWEVER, when I tried to install DPP and Zoom Browser, I got a message saying the screen resolution (maxed out) was insufficient to support the software. That would mean I couldn't shoot RAW (or at least review the RAW shots) which would make the netbook pretty much useless for photography. Luckily, both will run Lightroom2 so I was saved on that score.

Has anyone else run into this on a netbook? Anyone know a workaround?

Aside from the slim possibility of confiscation by TSA, this would be the only thing to stop a photographer from taking a full fledged computer with him/her rather than the P2000.
