I don't really hold any grudges against HP, but I bought a DV3 and it was truly awful. After fully charging the 6-cell battery, it could last about 45 minutes before needing to be plugged in again. It ran very hot. The keyboard(plasticy) and touchpad(grabby) both had poor feel IMO. The capacitive touch buttons at the top of the screen never worked. And even with the P7600, it was still pretty poky. That being said, their return policy is great... they took it back without problem, were very apologetic, and paid for return shipping as well as refunding my tax and original shipping. Good company, bad laptop.
Well fuck. This is exactly the kind of thing I've wanted for a long time - an actually affordable ultraportable, with an optical drive. that's 1 pound lighter and I'd have to stop thinking it over and just preorder it.
@DeadhousepIants: As a Best Buy computer employee I can honestly say a ton of people want these. The "copper" special editions are some of the popular notebooks we sell.

The Neo is a netbook processor, no?
Sorry, but AMD moble processors just don't match up to Intel right now. Pass.
