    This is about a month late, but I think it's time to share it. Clevo has unveiled the one netbook I had my eye on for a long time. Once this little machine ships to North America, I will buy it in a heartbeat. I have my fingers crossed for this one.

    Clevo even has the BIOS up for it already. http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/e-services/esupport/MarketDLOut.asp?model=M810L&go=GO&type=BIOS

    Nice, I love the design and finally something that isn't covered in gloss. Wonder what the pricing will be like.

    My only complaint would be the buttons on the trackpad, I hate when they put it on the side.

    Nice little unit, the 'slot' the guy in the video didn't want to break is the HDD bay (standard notebook 2.5"). Service manual is in my sig if you're interested.

    I'm sure the price will be competitive with other competitive with other companies' netbooks.

    I don't really mind where they put the buttons. I am 95% keyboard dependant when I'm not playing games.

    Yeah. That muppet doesn't know what he's talking about in the video. I downloaded the service manual from someplace else, but thanks anyway, Theriko.

    Me and my brother have been eying netbooks, but they all seem so cheap. I'd rather get one by Clevo, since I know all of their machines are built so well. I hope this starts shipping in North America soon.
