I think this is a really cool story to follow and see how it evolves over the next few years. Robert, let me know how you like the Dell Mini. When I dropped the photo into the blog post, I was like, wow, that looks slick. Thanks for the comments guys.

I've been using the HP MiniNote, but am getting zero bang for the buck. For starters, it really isn't that light with the 6-cell battery. The only thing I ever use it for is surfing the web which I can just as easily do on my bberry. I have been eyeing the Lenovo U110 for some time now (it's superlight AND can run all my design programs!), but there hasn't been a significant price drop since Black Friday. All in all, I agree that patience is key. I think a lot of people are facing this dilemma. I’ve been using the HP MiniNote, but am getting zero bang for the buck.

And guess what...I just ordered a Dell Mini 9 yesterday with a plan to create a Hackintosh. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm writing this on my MacBook Pro but can't wait to cobble messages like this together on my new Netbook. I was amazed at how similar my tech upgrade cycle is to yours.
