I want one, looks like it would be very useful for me so I could use it on the train and in lectures to do work.

How much does an OEM Vista Business license run for these days? I would be tempted to buy the top-of-the-range one, get a refund on the unused license & install Linux.

I'm surprised they haven't tried combining one of these with something like Windows Mobile. Personally, I'd like to see something that'd double as a portable entertainment centre, with a 3G broadband dongle, a digital TV ariel and a few movies stored onto SD cards and a decent MP3 connection it could be quite useful for long journies.

Are you serious about the processor? What makes you think that Intel's Atom is going to perform better than the VIA C7-M? The name?

From what I've seen, the tests run on Silverthorne weren't particularly promising. Plus both Intel's Atom and VIA's C7 processors are in-order CPUs, and as this is Intel's first foray into this type of architecture I'd guess they're going to have some teething problems.

Take of your Nikes, put down the Starbuck's and do some research.
