Little pricy for the parts, don't ya think?

How about more grumbles? Bloggers who forget to also mention that Ubuntu Linux will also be made available on this netbook.

So, wipe the drive and load and run MCE2005 on it? Why bother at all?...

Just buy a scratch & dent XPS 1210 for $589 off the Dell Outlet Site, trick it up and run Vista-Home Premium-64bit.

Starting at $549? The Dell Mini12 is a small $399 laptop without a DVD burner !
