I'd really love to see AMD competitive in this space, especially as it would enable better graphics than integrated Intel stuff (although see my own review of my DM1 ).
Unfortunately it looks like AMD are playing major catch-up in terms of heat and power still, which is a shame.
Also, it's not massively competitive on price either - there are a number of Intel-based (non Atom) 11.6" portables at under £400. Come on AMD!

This isn't especially good value, but AMD do have a presence in the ultra-portable market at under £400 in the (dual-core) Ferrari One - even if technically it's a netbook, this is too. There's also the HP DM3 and the excellent value looking Thinkpad Edge (including cash-back), neither of which I've experience of, but they look good.
