What kind of graphics performance will this give to the netbook market? Will it be higher than the 9300m that was in the N10J? I may just wait and get an ION netbook if it's better than a 9300.

The Ion is the 9300m 9400.

I believe Ion is based off of an atom and a 9400. So it should be ahead of the 9300, but I'm not sure by how much.

I also thought the Ion used something similar to a 9400...

Yeah, I read it was a 9400 chipset, or something along those lines. I may be wrong, but I saw the number 9400 in the review. I assume the 9400 is better than the 9300, and apparently the washington post reviewer was playing l4d on a 311-1000NR

Yeah I'm fairly sure of that... here's an article as evidence:

There's also benchmarks and such in that review...so it should prove useful to OP.

I think i'm going to go with this netbook and pocket the other $100.

you know after looking at the benchmarks posted, it doesnt like it would fair well as a gaming netbook, more like just for streaming hd and other regular work.

Is there any better alternative to this?
