I just flipped through the .PDF, it was pretty light on hard info, I'm curious about this thing myself.

Well, I got mine on friday. I'm pretty pleased with it, although I havent put it through its paces. Easy enough to use, though.

Its a celeron 900mhz; but I didn't buy it for one minute because of processor power, or even to compete with a notebook, most of which have dual core anyway...anyone thinking of this as a desktop/notebook replacement is missing the point. I wanted something lighter and more compact. This has all the connectivity I require, and does all the necesary stuff, standard multimedia, bluetooth, wifi, USB 2.0, adequate hard drive. So this is great when I dont want to lug a notebook around with me (which is often). Obviously had I intended to buy a games machine my choice would have been different. This instead avoids the acute space shortage issues of my apartment; besides, the games I play would run just fine on that. Anything else I can use my desktop or notebook.

so you enjoy the onscreen keyboard? the somewhat laggy cursor?

I found browsing the web on it a total pain.

I guess yours did not come bundled with a USB keyboard with pointer device. I admit, without that, it might seem a less attractive package

I got mine for £644 sterling from ebuyer.co.uk, which is about 150 less than on the high street. I dont know what the prices are in the US. Here's a link to the brochure with all the details
