"The Pro also comes with a 250GB hard drive to the regular 531's 160GB HDD, but how much storage space do you need in a netbook, for heaven's sake?"

How much HD space is too much?

Please do let me know.

What is the point?!

A netBook Pro™?! Psion are going to go proper mental now...

Is the hardware supported, at least ?

We get a few people wanting a work-bought netbook for when they go travelling, and Dell have finally caught up and started offering us something viable with a suitable warranty (ie next business day, on site parts & labour, etc). Last time I checked Acer's offering, it was something like a 5-business-day collect-and-return job, which is an instant "no".

God I hate glossy finishes. Its just ...retarded...and dirty.

Netbook - cheap, small, light....

Why bother, at the cost and weight of this one you can get a much better laptop. Marketing seem to be in a little world of their own on the recent 'netbooks'

All that extra storage space in a netbook can only mean one thing: this is the Pr0n bersion, not the Pro version.

Why not benchmark these netbooks by seeing how many Facebook and MySpace tabs you can simultaneously have open and still get good response.

And make it a realistic test, with all the standard updates for the O/S, and an up-to-date anti-virus installed.

If you get a netbook with 1GB of memory you are going to wish you had 2GB of memory by the end of the second week.
