H264 subtitled MKV's, QuickTime AVC's, Microsoft WMV's, and HD YouTube flash videos have achieved different results despite all being 1080p. The CoreAVC decoder is often mentioned on forums as being the best way to get smooth 720p playback on current netbooks. I'd like to see some tests with each of those formats in 1080p on the NC20.

That's like saying the president of the United States is secondary in power. Newegg has an infinitely better reputation than Amazon. Amazon is great with its second day trial shipping, but when it comes to trust and reliability, there is no company online that is better than Newegg. Take a look at their reseller ratings: http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Amazon http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Newegg Amazon: 6.36/10 Newegg: 9.76/10 “not some secondary seller like newegg”

The logical way to sell it in USA is on Amazon.com not some secondary seller like newegg. I wouldn't be surprised if this gossip doesn't come true similar to the previous one it was going to be available on March 16 on newegg....

I don't have any benchmark results to quantify my findings but having used the NC20 for just over a week now, I am confident it is a little quicker. Generally, Firefox seems to run quite a bit faster on the NC20 and MS Office seems to run faster too. Windows XP in general is a little bit snappier. Also, I have noticed that the graphics chip assigns 256MB graphics RAM once it detects 2GB of system RAM. 128MB is assigned with the stock 1GB RAM. Once I upgraded to 2GB RAM, I did notice that Google Earth ran a bit smoother. RE: battery life... I have managed to get between 4 to 5 hours out of the NC20 with normal use (web browsing, MS Office use) whereas the NC10 gets between 5 and 6 hours." It may be that the NC10 does the same thing when the RAM is doubled, but I don't remember anyone reporting this. Pugrider FYI, I am basing the 2 GB RAM idea on a post from an NC20 user in the UK:
