personally i'd also wait for the atom version or the release of the MSI Wind.
so far this lappy is shaping out to be a serious threat to the eee pc because of its cheaper price. http://blog.laptopmag.com/msi-wind-r...hit-us-in-june
1.6ghz Atom cpu? 5.5 hours battery life with 6-cell battery and Win XP? The MSI does sound like a good deal. I'll have to consider it.
