I’ve been wanting a netbook / small laptop for quite a while, but none of the popular ones have the power to handle the games and graphics editing that I do. I’d like to move to a situation where I completely eliminate my [insane gaming rig of a] desktop and instead just extend the little laptop to a 22”+ monitor when I’m at home. So I started shopping around a bit…

Then this happened.

You guys…
<_<

It’s got purple lights!

• 11.6-inch WideHD 1366x768 (720p) WLED
• Intel Core i7 640UM (4M Cache, 2.266 GHz)
• 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M
• 500GB SATAII 7,200RPM
• 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz

… Basically it trades off some of the power/graphics of my desktop, but is still completely suitable for my needs for the next good while.

Half of me is totally ashamed, the other half is STOKED.

It arrives July 8th.
