I think it looks pretty cool! But, I'm not great on small specs.. What do you thing?

Would be cool if I had a use for it, but I can't imagine myself using it...someone may have a job that could benefit from it, so whatever.

I actualy did find something I don't like, I am left handed when it comes to things like that.

That's pretty nifty. I don't really know when I'd use it other than when I'm bored, but pretty cool.

I'd get it just to piss off iPhone users.

It looks ok but it's overpriced for crappy specs. I know it's a mobile pc, but... idk. I'd never have a use for it. Plus the controls look terrible. Add a touchscreen or something!

And you'd install Vista on that... why?

Its cool, not new, and somewhat pointless. For the same price of the most expensive model you could get a thin laptop that would have a Core 2 Duo and a great Graphics card (8800m).

You can't get a 8800 in a laptop. :/

It's pretty cool, and has some decent specifications. Way to much money, though. You could easily get a much nicer laptop for around the same price, with a larger screen and keyboard. Though, that is the novelty of Mobile PC's, they're very compact.

Solid state drives are crappy?...

I would much rather have a larger keyboard if I were to get an UMPC...thats why I'd much rather get an eeePC from ASUS.

Indeed, those things are awesome. Tis' a shame, the price went up $50 (or was it $100?) For the lowest model. Still, for what you get, it's awesome for school and such. 2/4/8GB SSD, 512/1024mb RAM, GMA 900 Graphics Chipset, and a 900MHZ Processor.

No, but if they bump up the price $500 so that you can shave half a minute off your OS loading time, load various other things slightly faster, as well as better security, and only get around 60GB of storage, *** that.

Before I jump out of my pants in excitement, show me an actual laptop that offers an 8800 in a notebook.

Stop with those posts.
It isn't needed.

I worked with someone who had one of these. It's pretty nice, but there are better (and above all, cheaper) alternatives. You can get a really nice UMPC for $900, rather than $2000-something.

Hm, while we're on the subject of the nvidia graphics cards, I have a quick question. The 8600GS has half as many stream processors as the GT, but it has faster core and shader processors as the GT, so which would really be better?
