Thanks Scott - I can find it now as a 12" machine on the Google. $600 at Amazon after rebate - getting down in price already.

This machine really gets into that "more than a netbook, less than a notebook" niche - it gives you your 1280x800 display and reasonable graphics, plus a DVD drive (external), still only 4 lbs. and is full fledged Vista/7 capable...but battery life is listed at 3.5 hours (ick) and you're right, it's a weak processor.
