    Looks like a pretty good deal; wonder if the X120e's E-450-equipped successor will have a lower price as well.

    " ran for 5 hours and 19 minutes on a video playback battery drain test"

    WOW! That probably means easily 8 hours of regular web surfing.

    Except the E-450 is a bit sluggish in general, but I guess for general purpose ultraportable, it's good enough. And is actually somewhat gaming capable.

    edit: aah, just realized the 128GB SSD is a $240 upgrade. No thanks, I'll put one in myself!

    Looks sweat and a much nicer price than the Air.

    Use "TECHBARG30" and get $30 more off. I configured stock + E-450 upgrade and total comes to $393.99 before taxes plus use eBates @ 5% cash return - $19.70 = $374.29 + taxes. Awfully good price for the machine you get.
