I thought so too. But I guess choice is good.

what cpu does this thing use?

A 10.2' netbook that has discreet graphics?! That thing is now going at the top of my Christmas wishlist. I wonder how much it'll cost..

hey if you can afford it, why limit yourself?

Hmm, this is a great idea IMO if they do it right. Netbooks are made for portability, battery life, and cheap price. If this ends up costing $800 whats the point? I would like to see a Netbook with a 9400m gpu, 2gb ram and 8hrs battery life with it running.

I need an ultraportable for college. Something with long battery life but with some graphics juice so I can play cs:s and dota. Then FarCry2 on my comp now. This looks perfect.

The next thing we're going to see is a netbook with CF/SLI.....

I don't think this is physically possible yet since high end components will generate some good heat turning that mini notebook into a waffle iron. Also, the battery will not last as long as expected.
Extreme Heat + Tiny Battery = Epic Fail

It's funny because I can see the watermark in the bottom corner.

Is this how they got Windows 7 running on it?

First off, netbooks are overpriced, and they need to globally drop $50-100.

Secondly, better graphics would be interesting. As I recall, the 9300/9400m allow you to switch from integrated, so you have the power when you need it, but more battery if you don't.
