      Ben, I think it is a Intel WiFi Link 5100. You are missing a zero there... now what is a Pentium SU2700 processor?

      I tried the Acer AS4810 @Staples, which has a SU3500, and it felt slow, so I would imagine that this one would be similar. I don't know if these thin-and-light's with the SU CPUs are even worth it.

      Depends on what you want to do with it. These are definitely an improvement over the Atom in terms of processing power, at a cost of 1) $$$, 2) power consumption. The 4-cell on this is a little disappointing, a 6-cell would definitely push the machine towards 6 hour+ real world useage. Super slim and light, it definitely feels just as portable as a netbook. Construction is solid, design is gorgeous, although some people (including myself) complain of fan noise. Customer support calls are polite and knowledgeable, but their actual service centers have been hit or miss. Lenovo has been constantly giving promotions to push potential netbook buyers into the higher margin ULV market, but it definitely is a good buy for what it is.
