@CoyM Exactly. Netbooks have atom processors in them typically. This would be in the thin and light or ultraportable category as it supposedly contains a CULV or C2D. Although most of these categories have been manipulated to death with specifications and what qualifies them.
I for one like the idea. Why not make a small ultraportable laptop that has switchable graphics for longer battery life and gpu powerful enough to play games.
I am assuming its 11.6" screen will be 1366x768 so they can claim a HD screen. On Alienware's site it apparently gets a 3Dmark06 score of 5700. This should be good enough to run most games at high settings at 1366x768 resolution.
I'm not a huge fan of the flashy looks but backlit keyboard? Yes please.

Just for the record, Dell didn't call it a Netbook. Engadget is using that term.
