That is only true in the 7inches models because they have 800x480 
resolutions, while the larger (or newer) models have 1024x600 
resolutions... I can't understand why they choose these particular 
resolutions but it seems every netbook is made why these screens.

That is also the reason why I changed from a 7inches to a 10inches 
netbook. The size was not perfect but the resolution was starting to be 
a problem.
