Summary: Great Spec's, small footprint at around 2 lbs and only 1" thin, 6 hrs battery life...This is a do everything solution for those on the go. Slick (though slightly pricey) netbook with bluetooth and 802.11n wifi.

Storage is excellent for a netbook with 160gig of space and a 10gig account with Asus to manage files online. More than enough computing to handle windows apps and photo management. This PC can handle gaming, but more advance graphics management falls outsie it's sweetspot.

The real benefit with this computer is the look and feel. Asus really has come through with a laptop approaching the feel of a Macbook Air for a fraction of the price. There is competition out there in the netbook space so I recommend hitting a major store to see which fits your work / play style.

In the next year, I see Netbooks increasing their screen size to a 12"+ screen size while baseline spec's increase to 200gig+ HD's and 2gig RAM. Battery life is also important in this space and while the CPU speed might increase slightly, companies will continue searching for for ways to squeeze out 6-8 hrs of unplugged life.
