Great little netbook, fast CPU compared to the Atom, but batt life is only 4 hrs. Got one from Microsoft when they had it for $200, great deal. Been using since I got it a month ago, no probs, glossy top is fingerprint magnet, 3 USBs, webcam, multi-touch pad, keyboard is full size chiclet style, read that it could take a 4GB stick, pauses some when I played the Tron HD trailer on Youtube, 6 cell battery does stick out in the back not flush like the pic, there is a 9 cell out there, footprint is a tad bigger than 8.5"x11", solid build - very little flex, LED backlight gets pretty bright, bottom gets warm but not hot, no N, no bluetooth, no HDMI, no optical disk, no eSATA. Would I pay $340 for it? Probably not.
You'll be surprised by what an SSD can do to the performance of these small notebook/netbook
If these ever come up for $200 again, I will be in for 2 of them.

ConTact makes a couple imitation black leathers that will easily cover the shiny plastic to prevent fingerprints. The texture means no bubbles. Cheap and really effective. Used it on my Asus netbook and wife's Compaq laptop.
The AMD Athlon 64 X2 CPU would be a screamer as compared to the Intel Atom. $200 for this unit would be a great price.
