If this is how the production model will look, I think they dropped the ball on this one. I've owned a P2110 and (now) a P7010, and they've both been consistently praised for their modern looks. Even the P2110 still runs and gets compliments all the time, running xubuntu.
Maybe it's more impressive "in the flesh", but from the pictures, the design of this new P8010 seems like a step back, design-wise. Things that stand out to me are the big ugly screws showing on the hinge, the unnecessarily large bezel, and the glossy LCD-backside that screams "smudge me".
...but it's probably Vista-only, so I wouldn't even think of buying one anyway.
