    Hmm possibly way too expensive? At that price point it would be close enough to say you could get a full size laptop. Good spec's though.

    That is really too expensive, given that netbooks nowadays are in the range of $300 to $400. However, I believe that it will come down eventually. It's just supply vs. demand.

    The screen real estate is good, but I think you can get a cheap 13incher with better specs easier. Atom is still not competitive enough to pay more than $450 for it.

    Not enough notebook/netbook for the money.

    $399 price would be justifiable.


    Still not enough power to convince me to get a netbook.

    Around $600 with a 12 inch "ideapad netbook"? I personally will definitely prefered 12 inch X61S thinkpad laptop which is now available on lenovo.com for just about $649 after coupon redeemed
