looks nice, almost like a eeePC 900 but with better specs.

Interesting. I think this could be better than the EEE..well atleast for me.

I would only take the 1.6Ghz, coz C7's only start to perform well with higher frequencies.

A 1.2Ghz C7-M is slower than a 630Mhz Intel Celeron-ULV. Nuff Said.

Wait for Isaiah.
