Considering how many people have given up hope on Vista -- I would say waiting for Windows 7 is the right thing to do.

i don't know why anyone would buy a netbook for $599. for that price you could get a far better "regular" laptop. But I guess some people will pay anything for portability.

I don't see the point either. A netbook with enhanced graphics. Defeats the purpose of a "netbook" - which is a cheap laptop.

$599!!!!!!!!!! That's too expensive. At this price jacking up rate we'll have laptops back up to $1200. Nvidia Ion is useles for that price. $400 at most is fairprice, sans win 7.

I want my desktops beefy and my portables, well portable...

I expect a 8 hour + battery life from my devices and at present, its either a 2000 dollar bomb shell with some Intel ULV, or drop some money into a netbook that will cost 600 tops (incidentally, the amount I saved up for my 5800/GT300 CF/SLI setup).

Also, I'm waiting on this touch based netbooks with a 11 inch screen, because when you look at the damned DELL XT2, it costs nearly 3 grand for touchscreen and these little suckers may just replace the Xt2 on my list of things I want, but maybe not need.
