There's no local pricing or availability on Dell's local site yet

Assuming its pricetag does stay low, it is really nice. I cant wait to see some comparative reviews between this, the MSI Wind and the eeePC 901.

And the thing actually looks like a laptop ... with a very large pencil

Like to try one.

Man, the Dell Mini looks great.

The price from Techdigital for the Acer Aspire one is not so great.

Open Source making a debut in lightweight division. Pound for pound my money is on the Open Source corner ...

It looks as if Vodaphone will be pushing them out ... If they do, we can very well see the same thing happening right here through VC

I'm very keen to get myself one of these. I'm trying to organise that a friend of mine sends me one from the UK. I've been looking at various shipping options though and everything is pretty excessive (the cheapest quote I've gotten thus far is R1100). Anyone know of affordable shipping options from the UK to SA? If not, if anyone in the Stellenbosch/Somerset West area is going overseas in the next few weeks and is keen to cart a baby laptop back home, let me know.
