Yup- almost the same resolution as the Acer Notebook. 1024x600 seems to be the resolution of choice for the latest crop of netbooks, whether they be 8.9" or 10.2" models. Only HP's Mini-Note offers a 1280x768 display resolution, while 7" models settle for just 800x400 pixels. But the workaround that I mentioned above changing the DPI setting does really work.

There are a whole lot of netbooks on the market now, and most cost the same. Acer's notebook is really cool-looking, very light weight, and can be purchased for as low as the mid-$250 range. Recently, while visiting Orlando with family I came across a netbook review, and they gave the edge to the Asus and MSI notebooks due to the battery life (see http://netbookreview.darrenyates.com.au/?p=375) which is about 3 times that of the HP and Acer varieties. My Acer's battery life is pretty short, and the HP is even shorter! Food for thought...
