The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Wow - I can't wait to get my hands on one. To me this is what a netbook is supposed to be.

    Ha ha. That guy talks like a real ninja. I'd still prefer to spend $350 on a good netbook instead of $100 on a really crappy one, but I don't really want a netbook either way. That's really slow at 400MHz, compared to 1.6GHz on most netbooks today. Most phones are faster than that...
