Nice laptop - only thing to be aware of, the 100 series doesn't have the same keyboard as the 200 and up series Thinkpads, so if you're a total Thinkpad keyboard junkie (as I am), it might not be the experience you're looking for. Still, that machine for under $500 is a heckuva deal.

I would disagree... the fact that it uses the Turion Neo pretty much makes it a netbook as they are in the same market segment as the Intel Atom processors. Although, I don't know how they compare to each other in benchmarks.

But this is a dual core Neo - making it quite a bit peppier than most Neo based machines.

AMD's Turion Neo X2 aren't in the same "market" as Intel's Atom processors; the Neo X2's were made to compete to Intel's CULV platform.
This is a nice business alternative to the Toshiba T115 (fully loaded) but overall the Toshiba is a better deal with the fully loaded version for $482 at Amazon...the comparable IBM with the same specs is $554.
LACK OF HDMI-OUT ON THE IBM KILLS THE DEAL FOR ME.
Buy Acer 1410 with Intel duo core SU2300. It has HDMI output and will beat out Lenovo and Toshiba. But Acer 1410 with Intel su2300 is so popular that most stores have it our of stock. But I know how to get one
Anyone know if any chance of installing Mac OSx on this awesome laptop. I have it, got it from TigerDirect on the last deal with 15% bing Cash Back (no tax and free shipping). Keyboard is great, performance is pretty good and the quality is awesome......; if Mac OSx can be install than this will be just more awesome...
