As for buying abroad, assuming I can find a US keyboard, is the different OS a problem? And don't big brand manufacturers have worldwide warranties? Or is buying a refurbished machine in the US always a safer bet?
--------------------------
Speed is not an issue--all of these little machines being discussed are just fine with a broadband internet connection--wired or wireless. I'm typing this on my x1 via wireless, 30 feet and two walls from the router. No problem.

If you are U.S. based, buy in the States. Unless you are a very sophisticated early-adopter gizmo-masochist of course!

The warrantees for US purchased stuff are usually honored world-wide. Is the reverse true, Flyertalkers?
