    I''m potentially in the market to buy something like this over the next month, however if this approaches £400 (and i'd be surprised given the specs if it is any less) then it frankly would make more sense to buy one of the 11" CULV laptops.
    That said, i'd be very happy if this could be benchmarked ** cough , hint **

    Buy a Viewsonic Viewbook 120. £380 gets you CULV Dual-core Celeron - which is far faster than any Atom - 2GB RAM, Win7, 250GB hard disk, and an expresscard slot. This is why I bought one: expandability, and it's quite feasible to get a professional audio interface in there.

    ^Processor's better but the Inteligrated graphics still sucks.
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Actually I reckon that viewsonic looks potentially tasty, at least if we are thinking with our 'netbook' hats on.

    Anyone know what the build quality is like?

    Edit: even better, scan sell it for £350.

    Some of us want to do more with these things than sit our our arses watching movies... Intel gfx is quite enough for productivity, audio and visual production.

    Powered usb ports even when switched off was a feature shared by the original eeePC and ensured that your battery drained overnight.

    Is there a touch screen option on this, does anyone know? (Sorry to ask the same question about two netbooks, if anyone's counting.)
