Anyone else considering getting one of these little things? Should be available in about a month and will be around the 150-200 quid mark.

Seems to have all the right kit but no CD/DVD... hey ho.

Let us know what you think.

It looks like a good bit of kit for the money.

Its perfect for someone who just wants to browse the web and email. The monitor is really small but it does have VGA out :)

I think I might get one if they release it in the UK for a sensible price. I cycle to work a lot and the flash HDD means I wont break the HDD on the way.

one of these would be perfect for my mother, she wants a machine she can get online with, and she can stash in the draw next to where she sits.  Would probably be pretty useful for a service engineer as well, or deploying out to users who want a mobile thin-client for running citrix apps.

Theres a 10" version.

In my case the small screen isnt a problem. I would mostly use one for writing my books on the beach  8)

to be honest, i want one now after thinking about needing a notebook pc and the cost of them

any news on their release date?

EDIT: And Ive been looking on google, cant seem to see whether its wireless enabled or not. The biggest problem Ive had with linux is connecting wirelessly
