I'm giving Windows 7 a good run this weekend and will have to compare there too. Once I add the 2GB RAM module I'm hoping for a nice boost as well across the board. I could definitely see upgrading to an SSD though I want to narrow down the OS options before going that way. Prices are coming down nicely as capacities are increasing.<br><br>I am most definitely NOT carrying less gear. As the netbook is my personal machine, I was also toting my work lappy on my recent trip and based on the relative ease in slipping it into my roller bag, I will probably do that again. The work machine has VPN access and all the little things I need for my job. I can't put that at risk to tinker around on my personal machine though I think I can probably get pretty close. I'm still carrying at least half a dozen phones at any time as well along with cables and a travel router. ;) XP is clunky but the battery optimizations seem primed there for the moment.

Loving it actually ... <br><br>I am still very interested in the pocketable experience though frankly have yet to see anything with the balance of power and features that the N810 offers for it's size.

The smaller size of the netbook is killer for more productive use, but I don't really want to make much of a sacrifice when I'm out with an even lighter option. Great to be in the club finally!
