OK, so my son broke my Dell mini 9 (never good when a 2 year old takes a dive off the recliner and lands on the screen)... and they don't make it anymore... so, I am now working with a Dell 11z, and LOVING IT!!! The touchpad took a little getting used to, but it's great! full size keyboard, 802.11g/n wifi, camera, 320gb HDD, LED Hi-def screen... what's not to like... I bought it with the extended battery and SU4100 processor, and it is running windows 7 X64 like lightening! Loaded Office 07 and it's a dream... streams netflix very well and I can even take that stream and watch it on my HDTV using the HDMI output... WOO HOO... all of this for around $500... not a bad deal... oh, and 2gb RAM installed
