I'm probably going to choose between it and the Lenovo S10-2, which has the Ion chipset/graphics, higher test scores than the Mini 110, but not as good a keyboard.
Would love to get her a MacBook Air but $1500 is steep - would rather put the extra $1K toward a DSLR. Wife thinks it is time to go DSLR but the ones I'd consider (full-frame, meter w/ Nikon Ai/AiS lenses) are still way expensive. $2600 body-only seems to be the price of admission (Nikon D700).

WHy an air? I got Calvin the lowest end macbook. Set it up with Bootcamp and he can run XP and game (where he uses FRAPS to capture in-game videos) then switch to Mac and use iMovie to edit, Office for WP, etc.
If you want FF is a dSLR, right now the Sony a850 is cheapest but still $2K. Next year FF might drop down towards the $1500 range but maybe not. That's a whole 'nother discussion...
