It was just a a few weeks ago that the netbook was announced and then quickly made available for preorder and now it looks to be the first next gen summer 2010 netbook shipping out. The specs are very impressive for the price on this netbook:

I've been meaning to upgrade my ASUS Eee PC 1008HA and this just may be the netbook I do it with. The 11.6 inch netbook packs offers so much more than most comparably priced netbooks do not. i.e. 2 GB RAM, Dedicated Graphics, HDMI Out, Windows 7 Home Premium, 1366x768 resolution. As of this writing there are only 2 in stock but I'm sure more will be made available quickly.
