Review:
I think this is a great machine - it's not as pricey as CNET makes out. Run Mac OS X - which is better than Windows, or run poor old Windows if you must. Best of both worlds! What PC laptop comes with a built-in web cam? Apple's Front Row might not offer all the power of Windows Media Centre, but it works very well and you can add the additional functionality with a simple USB TV tuner.

Acer Aspire One D250 Android
Pretty average netbook, and the Android OS is more of a hindrance than a help
Samsung R520
Not a bad budget laptop, but the bigger R720 is a much better option if portability isn't a prime concern
