What Others Say
May be worth the money, you decide
There are a LOT of netbooks out there, and they are all very similar. This one is a bit of an exception, in that it is thinner and is trimmed out better. However, it will have virtually identical performance to the others, and is a LOT more expensive.
Most of the attributes the other reviewer attributes to this model are also true of any netbook, and many of them sell for under $400. If you are willing to pay for appearance and the thin and light design, then this may be the model for you. Otherwise, you might want to check out:
The Acer Aspire One (smaller, much cheaper)
The Samsung NC10 (another 10.1", with a better keyboard and much better battery life)

Exceeded expectations
I very highly recommend this netbook. It is replacing my old VAIO T-series. I had considered getting a new VAIO, but with the huge price difference, it was worth trying out this one.
I had expected it to reflect its $700 price tag by feeling and looking cheap. I was completely wrong, and the beauty of this machine is stunning. It's so skinny, and so light, and the graphite cover is perfect! The white lights that show status above the keyboard shine gorgeous. The power brick is tiny, i can hardly believe it!
XP Home works great, and only takes up some 4gb of space. There is not an overload of bloatware as you get with SONY. The battery life, even with just 4-cell, is also great! 5.5 hours with the screen darkness all ... Read More
