    Man, LED backlit screen. When I saw how thin the MacBook's screens were I was totally jealous, and I also saw other LED screens on Vaios, so want an LED screen now. I figure this is a better buy than most netbooks.

    i'd say dell e4200 is the perfect form factor for a 11--12 ultraportable, only 2.2lb.

    Is the exhaust vent (read: cooling system) really under the palmrest? If so, I predict some majorly sweaty hands :D

    That $771 looks like it includes the external optical drive/burner and the dedicated HD3410 GPU option so it's not that bad.
