1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Lots of hi-res image scanning and manipulation. Frequently multiple images at once, along with multiple apps running simultaneously. I'm a multitasking whore. A half dozen or more Firefox windows open at the same...

Just a thought: As long as one is considering the W100 price point, why not look at the Sony Vaio X? I have one and love the dang thing. 11" screen, 0.5" thick, 1.6 pounds. 128GB SSD, 2GB RAM, Win7, built-in 3G. Three battery options, two of which ship standard (S and X) - The tiny S battery...

Excuse me sir, your tinfoil hat is on crooked...

Just received a Kindle 2 yesterday. While it has its shortcomings with respect to native PDFs, it's a great device. I'm surprised that no one has pointed out that the Kindle is currently the only ereader that currently gives you any web browsing capability. Yes, it's primitive, but in...

Nuts, the ones posted over at TechBargains for today don't work on XPS... :( When looking at the coupons dor sale on Ebay, how do you know if they've valid on XPS? I'd hate to spring for one only to find out that it was unusable.

Yep. No good for my account...

Talk about B.S.! Over 900 Ebay feedback, send thousands of dollars through PayPal each month, and I don't get squat. :( Bastards.

I've tried with both MSIE and FireFox. No go with either browser.

WTF?? Damned verification won't work for me, and I've tried using all caps, no caps... Idiot programmers... probably shouldn't have outsourced the web development to India, huh.

What are the respective price points? It will be easier to make a recommendation between the two, as well as possibly provide other alternatives (I've assuming we're talking below $500 for each). -Dan
