I still didn't pull the trigger on a netbook yet. This is tempting. The HP is the sharpest looking netbook IMO, but I don't think I can deal with the slow VIA CPU. I'm leaning towards getting the eee 900HA. The prices on these things are starting to seriously drop now. I think $300 is the magic price. So who here has hopped on the netbook craze already?

There are reports that HP might be moving away from the VIA chips beginning with this special edition model.
