It has better battery life than my netbook, and the integrated 3G is a much better solution than having to use a dongle. If money was no object, then I'd buy this in a heart beat.
However, I think my £195 HP is very smart and it has the same processing power and slightly higher screen resolution.
I voted Pie. I love my netbook and I'd love this, but it's never going to happen. The Nokia is nice, but it's far too expensive for me to consider buying.

I am only going by what I hear on Geekbrief. Netbooks are a lot cheaper normally, maybe savings have been made? Maybe Cali has been unlucky in the products she has tried.

I've got one of the first Advent netbooks (It's from the DSG, but it's actually a re-badged MSI Wind), and even it's got a decent trackpad (not that I really use it anyway), so I'd be a bit surprised if others were below that standard

The original Eee I played with had a terrible track pad in my opinion. It was incredibly unresponsive, although the 5 year old owner of said device appears to have no problem with it.
My little HP has the best glide pad I've ever used. I also really like the positioning of the buttons on mine; out of the way on either side. Most other people seem to disagree, but I find it annoying to hit them by accident which I do when they're at the bottom. Either side is easier to use all round, I find. Although, I don't really use them often because the pad does most things without them.

If I had the money i'd buy it. If I had the money i'd also buy an iPad, Macbook air, new rig, new TV, new car...
But I don't.
So yeah.
Does look pretty nice, but even if I didn't already have a netbook and really wanted a new netbook i'd probably not go for it.
