    Hah, 750 discount, I wish. That's only in USA. In Canada it's almost full price :(

    After reading all of the reviews, I was expecting to get a much bigger machine. I'm still in awe of how small it is. I knowm any people complained aboutthe keyboard, but I just typed on ther for a while and I've only missed the "." key once, which is normal. I'm used to the keyboartd because I've used smaller - a palm ultrathin keyboard is tiny...

    Anyways, do you know how to check if I got the faster hd ( 5400 rpm vs. 4200) It seems pretty fast, but that's subjective.

    I really don't like how they load up the computer with useless junk...arg..

    Also, it makes no sense; mine came with a free case , the case is gigantic, 3 times the size of the laptop...lol...what were they thinking. At least I didn't pay for it.

    I almost buy one last week
    but I switched to IBM t43
    I thought 12"screen is too tiny for me
    anyway, $750 discount is HUGE!
