    Price is way low. It could be a scam or price error?

    Please stop throwing pointless insults around.

    Lot of chatter on Crave & Engadget about it being a scam. Ordered One, then cancel yesterday. Will reorder if it is Legit. Would make a nice Linux system.

    Yea, its better to be safe than sorry. $150 seems WAY low. I mean for $250-300 quite a lot of people would buy it. Thats like the cost of the Asus EEE PC.
