The Linux-based …
The Linux-based versions start at $349 USD, and the XP-based versions start at $399. If you get the XP-based version with every option, it’s about $480 USD.

Thanks, it’s good to be back - though I really do hate the black bars on the top and bottom of my video. It sucks that YouTube doesn’t offer any 16:9 aspect ratio player. My videos would be almost twice as big on the screen if they were in 16:9 format. I hope everyone emails YouTube to ask for this!

Yeah, I agree - a micro-fibre cloth would be a nice touch. Even better though would be a different finish option.

great re-unboxing, I think the keyboard size would be the only thing about this notebook that wouldn’t work for me… as for contacting YouTube about a 16:9 view, I couldn’t find anywhere to email them about that.

unfortunately can’t find an email address to contact youtube - the help centre mentions a contact form but never links to it - can you post a URL we can visit to send in the request re. 16:9?

Jason, are you sure …
Jason, are you sure you didn’t upload the video in letterbox (4:3 ratio) format? YouTube now allows 16:9 videos to display properly, but they won’t crop letterbox videos.

Anyway, it’s a shame Dell doesn’t have any hard drive options (or at least an internal CF/SD card slot), because 8/16GB is hardly enough to hold any decent software, let alone any music or pictures. But I guess since it’s a *netbook* it really isn’t designed to be a portable photo album.

they do actually have an option for 16×9. you uploaded it wrong though.
make sure that your video is actually widescreen that you upload, not letterbox.
when people click fullscreen - it’ll be widescreen if they have a monitor that is widescreen.

I’m finding it hard …
I’m finding it hard to figure out exactly what resolution YouTube supports for 16:9 videos - I can’t find any official support documentation, just a bunch of YouTube help forum questions with no authoritative answers. 480 x 360? That’s what was suggested. I’ll try that as a test and see how it looks (publishing privately). I wish YouTube supported 720p resolution…now THAT would be sweet. - Jason
