So, they're the same thing then, why do they give them different names if they're one and the same, how silly!!

My requirements for a netbook were that it was small and light with good connectivity - the Dell has that. An 8.9 inch screen and smaller keyboard brings down the weight and size nicely. The keyboard although smaller is perfectly usable touchtyping-wise after a little use. I also liked the Vodafone offer of unlimited connectivity built-into the computer itself, no extra dongles. It works well on the 3g network and hdsa (not sure of the initials) everywhere. Hope this helps.
