So she's getting one for Mother's Day. You can find these online for about $525. So it's not quite as bad. I just wish it were a more powerful notebook! I am also a tech geek and I really want an SSD based with higher screen resolution and built in WAN. Oh well, you can't have everything. My wife really liked it when she saw it.

If it was say $50 more, than I'd do it in a second, but not for $245. At that price, I can get a computer with much more capabilities. All that said, it is still totally droolable.

It'd have been better if they'd included a clutch to go with it, which I hear happened with some of these, so they could have fashionable accessorization. I know Best Buy is offering a Vivienne Tam-edition mouse as well. I wonder if it'd have sold as well if it came in a Linux flavor, or even included XP themed to match the outer shell?

Would be better to just get one of those sticker skins for the laptop/netbook instead. Looks nice but not for $245 extra.
