Yes but final hardware hasn't been released yet. All the preliminary stuff
is engineering samples and not finished. We don't know how powerful they
will be but one thing seems certain. The battery time should be very
impressive. Wait just a bit longer or you may wish you had. Just saying..

Looking through Anand's initial testing and conclusions here:

The most power Brazos chip has worse CPU performance than Core i3 (which
is
the low end of most ultraportable laptops) but better graphics
performance.
Looks like if you do mobile gaming, Brazos might be worth it, but for
CPU-intensive things it's not all that great.
Interesting, but I'm not sure that changes my calculus.

Define soon? Jan? 1qtr?
If I consider the MacBook Air underpowered, I doubt I would look at
anything in the netbook category.

netbooks are soon coming out and powerful enough to compete with
laptops.
Nobody knows what finished hardware will bench at but preliminary
information hints at great performance at netbook prices. Just saying..
