It's specs like that, that only reinforce my distaste for netbooks. With the two year contract you have to sign to get the price, you're going to end up paying the same amount for a respectable laptop in the long run. Why not just buy a real laptop? No real surprise that the CPU isn't mentioned.

I am interested in one just for the size .... and would be nice to have XP and Android on it ... use my existing Wireless broadband
