Depends if you're looking for a laptop or a netbook.
This is NOT a laptop dispite what xtravision say.
It's a netbook. The screen is just 8.9"

I have one (slightly older model with 8GB SSD and RAM upgraded to 1.5GB) - it's grand, but as underpants said, it's not a laptop. It's a netbook and if pushed to do hard work, won't respond well under the pressure!

Still though, it's a good price. There's no mention of the capacity of the battery (might be the 3 cell like I have which doesn't last very long at all - I'm buying myself a 9 cell).

It's only a decent deal if you dont have aspirations to do anything other than check your email, light browsing or typing the odd word document. Wont multi-task very well by the looks of things...

Thats expensive I would have thought. I picked one up in Hardly Normal a couple of months back for €199. I got the Linux 120GB version. I dont see what O/S comes with the Xtra Vision one from the link.
