This is not a netbook but an ultra portable notebook. This has a chance to give Intel a run at some of the notebook market. It compares to the Mac but at a much lower price point. Should be interesting. I just bought a Toshiba but now am wishing I had waited.
Obviously different O/S but with regards to the ultra portable notebook this is a big step forward and at a very low price point. Roughly 1/2 the cost of a Mac airbook with similar freq and battery lifetime.
