Fairly powerful for a netbook but won't replace even a low end laptop. It might be a good idea to hold off buying anything like this for a bit until we see what happens in the tablet market.
I got one when it was going for $199.99, great little netbook. It also does have wireless N, it has the Atheros AR5B95 hardware.

It is an attractive upgrade step up from the standard 10" single core Atom with GMA 3150 graphics, but the battery life is not netbook-like. Reviews say 4 hours at best. Battery life is the main benefit of a netbook imho. Still, for $300 it may not be a baconbreaker for many.
I've got an older version, and I love it! it's only slightly bigger than a normal netbook, but it has an amazing screen, and 250gb hard drive. Works really well for me.
Too bad it doesn't come with Intel ULV instead of Athlon. Intel has the edge on power economy. All the long-run-time models have Intel ULV CPUs.
AMD Fusion will be out soon and hopefully put more performance and competition in the netbook market.
$300 really? this should've been $150 by now.
