Of course, the screen size also begs as to exactly what sort of size of keyboard it comes with. (from the pics, I can't be sure if it's 100% or 95% size) It's true that this is a little on the wide side to be a netbook, but perhaps it's lighter than a notebook; remember the weight is a factor here. However, 1.8 kg is a tad heavy for a netbook, which was originally defined by the 0.9 kg Eee 700. I'm not sure if I'd really call it a notebook, though, as those done seem to come under 2.0-2.5 or so.
As far as power goes, a Sempron 200U most certainly ain't a mainstream chip; it's very clearly in the Atom realm, with an 8w TDP, and a clock rate of 1000 MHz. Probably even weaker than the lower-end Atom N270s you see packed into other netbooks. Similarly, the use of DDR2-400 also is definitely unlike a notebook, where you'd expect more proper DDR2.
All we really need to see now is the price. It's treading on a bit of thin ice by sticking us with what is clearly netbook-level horsepower, but coming bulkier than the market's common netbooks. If we get netbook-level pricing, (no more than $500-600US) I'm sure plenty will eye this as a good tradeoff of bulkiness for a screen big enough to use. But if it costs too much, it's just going to be a small notebook that does nothing terribly well.
