I bought this yesterday at Costco for $ 349.99. I was really looking for a notebook replacement so the the 11.6 inch screen was the most important factor for me - the screen on 10 inch netbooks is too small for me. That said, the form factor on this netbook is still great and 11.6" is not that big or heavy from a portability perspective. I also looked at the mini 12 and that seemed a bit larger i.e. almost not a netbook, which is puzzling because the usable screen size is not that different. Also, the mini 12 is $ 200 more which didn't make sense. I'd expect dell to further slash prices on the mini 12.
