i think this is a great netbook. my wife has a G4 macbook and it's reaching it's end. she doesn't use it for much honestly, and a netbook is all she needs. i'm a little disappointed about the shorter battery life compared to the 1000HE, but i don't think it's a deal breaker. the extra 30 bucks is a small price to pay for the design. it keeps it from looking cheap. the VGA dongle is stupid, but for her that won't be used a lot, only for work now and then. i would like there to be a matte finish on the body. plus i would like it to come with the max amount of ram. i don't know anyone that doesn't have a netbook and hasn't upgraded the ram. it's annoying for all netbooks.
