Apple is a software company that is in the hardware business. Their computers use mostly the same components as any other PC, but you're paying for the experience the software gives you, or else people would buy Apple computers with Windows preloaded on them.
G9 is by far the best gaming mouse IMO.
mx518 comes in second place
(g5 never impressed me)

mx revolution is by far the best comfortable casual mouse but I would not recommend it for gaming except for maybe WoW or something where a casual mouse is better suited.
For $60 I better not have to plug it into a Wiimote as well!
he said sketchy not stretchy
if they can produce a version with tv outputs and it costs less than $300 then I'm all over it.
It sounds to me like the guy liked the feel of the steering wheel more than the wiimote alone, contrary to what the engaget summary would lead you to believe.
Is it any surprise that there is a 30% return rate for the Macbook Air?
I estimate it takes about 1 week before the novelty of an overpriced, under-performing, ethernetless laptop wears off and buyers remorse kicks in.

many cell phones' battery get warm during sustained charging
You complain that your current laptop is too large, too heavy, and doesn't perform as well as your desktop.

This is a cheap laptop therefore it is not going to be slim and even though it has a 9" screen it has a lot of plastic around it so probably takes up the same amount of space as a 14" laptop. It is going to be made of cheap large heavy parts and the specs are probably worse than your current laptop, of which you have already complained about having poor performance (even though you admit to only web surfing and taking notes with it).
A solution with two 8800 GTS 512's in SLI is both faster AND cheaper than this new card.

Plus with this whole 2 pcb thing going on there will surely be driver issues for the first 6 months as is the case with all "new tech" at nvidia.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
