Sure, it's faster too, and apparently the fan is more to your liking. To someone whose first and second priorities are size/portability and price, though, the X200 would simply be the wrong choice. > you wanna buyy my aspire one? Nope, they're cheap enough to buy off the shelf and get the warranty. Besides, my main machine is a Thinkpad X41, so I'm already on board with the whole 12" thing (in fact, I've never bought a laptop with a screen larger than 12 inches, and I've paid a premium for that.) If I buy a netbook, it'll be have to be one with a hard disk in order to replace my clunky, Linux-based-but-crippled Archos 160GB jukebox.
