It seems like Dell is trying to blow these babies out.

When is some computer manufacturer going to recognize real demand and make a porn book? High speed internet, optimized for pornography viewing, and one handed operation. Easily cleanable keyboard. C'mon, I can't be the first to recognize the need.

nice little notebook for your gf. this is good deal, but the 4gb ssd is hardly enough. need to upgrade to 8gb at least. make sure to turn off compression to speed things up.
on a side note, you can install Apple OSx on this little guy.. works great!

Yup, for a 4gb SSD, this should be about $199.

Dell and System76 customers are able to choose between 30-day, three-month, and yearly Ubuntu support plans through Canonical. Dell machines running Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 come with proprietary, legal DVD playback capabilities using LinDVD.
Dell computers running Ubuntu 8.04 (this unit has the 8.04 installed) include extra support for ATI Video Graphics, Dell Wireless, Fingerprint Readers, HDMI, Bluetooth and MP3/WMA/WMV.

Almost there, hope they'll chop another 100$ after the holidays.

Netbooks are finally coming down in price -- we might see a $199 well-spec'ed machine this holiday season yet!

I have heard a lot from friends that the MSI Wind as the best mini laptop. 180gb (non solid state) drive, runs OSX better than most of these little laptops.

^Agree with #9. I have the wind and love it. Contemplating playing with OS X as we speak...

The Asus 1000H series is quite similar, basic slight difference the keyboard size and layout. BTW, it's a 160GB drive, not 180.

throw 2 gigs of ram in this one and a large HD and it can run photoshop sc4. msi and asus are overclockable. don't know about dell but someone should try eeectl on it.

IMO, a must have upgrade is a new stick of 2GB ram, so factor in the cost before you jump on this deal.
