When will these companies come out with an affordable "netbook" built around the VIA Nano or another cpu that is powerful enough to get the job done. I think the atom would be great for PDA and the like, but for a netbook/notebook processor it does not have anough "horespower."

It's obvious that this is based around a familiar reference design, but it's a shame that they can't cram a Trackpoint and a third mouse button into the Ideapad line.

As a *NIX user, those two features are very convenient and a reason to covet the Thinkpad's heritage. (I know, nipple mice can be very love/hate, but the modern ones really are quite pleasant to use, especially with Gnome's Mac-like environment where you mostly just need to hit the top of the screen.)
