Decided to buy myself a christmas gift: a netbook. Saw that Amazon had a post-christmas "sale" on the one I wanted - not much, just $16 off, but enough to recoup almost the total price for the 2-day shipping. Total pricetag just over $500, a little more than what I'd wanted to spend, but I've been saving for a while and this one wowed me with its specs. Now, I just have to wait for the release date. :X
