Boner....

This looks like a small machine without compromises.

I'm still totally in love with my Toshiba M400 though

Based on 3 low-res pics (which look rendered anyways) you can't really tell.

The real life thing is prolly pretty sweet, think it's only 7"...

Also, it should be the tech that causes a hard on, are you xtreme or what?

Did you miss this part:

7-inch screen, Intel Core Solo processor, fingerprint reader, Motion Eye web camera, sliding keyboard, flash-based hard drive, Bluetooth, Wireless 802.11b/g and WWAN (wide area network).

I would call those pretty killer.

I agree the sliding part sucks but how else would you want that small a computer with a full keyboard.

The screen is 99% sure a touchscreen so you don't need the keyboard.
