Those damned Chinese, taking our prised IBM Thinkpad and coming up with even sexier designs. That thing looks sassy. It would probably be completely unusable given the aspect ratio, but none the less -- exceptionally sassy.
@jonaswan2: But you can find a good netbook for $300 - the HP Mini 1000 being my personal choice. Well, to be perfectly honest the sub-$300 version isn't great, but with a screen upgrade to 10.1" and a few other tweaks you can get a decent machine for $350.
This Lenovo looks pretty good, but I'm guessing it'll be in the "premium netbook" category somewhere around $600.
@vx2: you certainly can spend that much, but my preferred configuration runs just $335 - 16GB SSD, 10.1" screen, 512 MB RAM and Linux. If you skip the RAM upgrades offered through HP you can get yourself a 2GB chip for $20 from NewEgg, bringing the price to around $355. Same configuration with XP runs $370 before adding your own RAM.

But, like you, I decided not to post my brilliant prognosticating in the previous thread.
