The only dissapointment for me is the form factor, I'd have preferred a more rectangular 16:9 format...

But really, for people like me, it's great ! All our computers are upstairs. Both the wife, the kid and I love having an internet connection downstairs, if only to check email, lookup a recipe, quickly google "where have I seen that actress before, she's hot", distract junior with a cartoon while still watching a football game, blah blah blah...

This thing essentially does everything a MacBook would have done for me (in a "downstairs" scenario) with more battery life, a lighter weight, a bigger screen and keyboard than the iphone, and it costs 1/2 of a macbook... It's effing great !!!

I'll be buying the WIFI model, I have the iphone for on-the-go 3G scenarios, this is at home on my Wifi, or on vacations with the hotel Wifi ! $499 !!! Best of all, I'm fairly confident that Apple will subsidize 100% of my purchase price thanks to its own stock increasing in value ! One stop shop ;-)
