Looks pretty nice... I must say. I think anyone considering this should consider the OLPC XO. http://www.laptopfoundation.org/en/index.shtml
It's not as powerful, a little bit heavier, and lacking on disk space by comparison, but the money spent has an impact far beyond just providing your shiny new laptop. I guess it boils down to what you are intending to use it for (the appearance is a little bold also). This machine runs Fedora Linux, and apparently there are folks in the open source development community that are using these a their everyday machine. My immediate family is pitching in for one that we're giving to my nephew for Christmas. The fact that his first machine will be Linux has me tickled pink.
