    Nice!

    Come on, now give me the P series with PineTrail and touchscreen! :)

    Wait, must be a mistake, the graphics must be X3150, not the Intel 950..All the PineTrail netbooks come with this combo: N450+3150 graphic card.

    The GMA 950 is an error. It also lists what graphics card it uses on the config page.


    Apart from the weight/thinness this now makes this closer in spec to the X. It takes a 2.5 HD which is easy to upgrade so you can upgrade to an SSD easily if you so choose to.


    At this price point a lot of people would still rather go with a CULV budget notebook. Offering the wwan though like i said before does make this a bit more desirable.

    Isn't there some sort of requirement that for Microsoft to agree to sell its operating systems on most netbooks you can only have so much ram installed by default?
