This is double-posting, but what I have to say is relevant to both topics, and I'm just so excited I have to tell everyone. Except for my real-world friends, they aren't nerdy enough to care, which is why I come to the forums. Anyway, I just ordered an X50v. It was only $375 with all of the coupons that are out now. The Asus is $600, and many would argue that the Dell is a better device anyway. The Asus just has a camera, a slightly bigger battery, and some are saying it has a better screen, I believe. The Dell, on the other hand, has a 624 MHz processor (as opposed to the Asus' 520 MHz), and it has a 16 MB 3D graphics accelerator. Apparently the Dell has metal casing, which is a HUGE plus for me (I just prefer the solid feel). I'm sure I have left some other stuff out, but other than that for the most part they are similar. Of course, like I said, $375 as opposed to $600...
