Didnt tempt me at all with specs of 256mb, 5200rpm HD, and a price of 500 US. Could get a better laptop for cheaper.

im gonna try it out, if all else fails i can use it as a silent and cost effective(power consumption) linux server.

thats nice, dear. i dont particually like macs either but i somehow dont think the kit above would cost you approx £340 and are the size of a cd case are they?
