    cant see much of a difference with the 670/690 except the processor speed. Can anyone spot anything else?

    I didn't look yet, but check for RAM, OS and WWAN.

    The only noticeable difference I can tell so far is a larger 80GB hard drive. Otherwise, everything else looks the same. What happened to no fans, and dual core processors? Am I missing something?

    Core Duo for tiny machines like this is still several months away.
