    Not a very good price. This configuration of hardware should be going for around $300.

    If you're interested in more functionality you might also want to wait for Dell's TV Tuner/GPS netbook to go down in price.

    I swear the 1005A was $295 last week...?

    Oh, actually $290. That is the VU...this is the PU...which has BT and a longer-charge battery.

    This VU also was the N270 processor, so there is quite a bit different. This is actually about $25-$40 off the normal price. Not great but this gets decent reviews.

    I just picked this up for my wife on Monday for about this price (buydig $360 with bing 10% cb). After spending hours going over which mini's were the best, I opted for this one. It was a close tie between this, and the Samsung N110. I ended up going with this one because of the longer battery life, wireless n, and reviews on the screen (apparently works well in all lighting).

    It's been lower in price - around $311 with bing cb at zzf, and with a $30 rebate (2 days only). The 1005A-V has a $30 rebate right now I believe.

    Yes, the price will go down (soon I hope), because Asus got greedy and making all these models and colors, increased their stock materials and inventory, and caused their second quarter profits to go down. They already started the $30 rebate when you buy a combo with a ASUS portable DVD drive by 8/31/2009. See the Zipzoomfly link for details.

    I am very tempted, but I want the blue one. Notice that this one is also hackintosh-able.

    Pardon my ignorance...but do any of these come with an OS? Just started looking at them.
