    Thats actually very attractive, and has me interested. The price seems a little high though, even with SSD in it. These kinda smudge the difference between nettop and laptop.

    Why do they insist on making laptops shiny? In that picture of the guy holding the computer, you can already see the smudges and fingerprints...

    So when the customers see them on display they get attracted to them, it's just a sales strategy, come look at the shiny laptop!

    It looks like a semi gloss coating though, not as near as bad as say Samsung Q210
