So, if you bought it at Circuit City last week, and it's $50 cheap now, they'll give you the $50 back.

It has an excellent form factor and performs smoothly. Much of my day is spent designing and programming, (and wasn't really considering "working" on the machine) but flash and photoshop are actually functional on it as well. The battery life needs improvement, but the wifi picks up perfectly and playing wow in a local bar on someone's open network is quite satisfying. If anything, picking one up for practicing starcraft is worth the ca$h..,,
