Three weeks into ownership the left and right click buttons gave way. It's basically a large screen netbook with an optical drive but without a webcam. You'll get what you pay for. A cheap poorly built laptop.

I got this laptop at BestBuy for $330 and it works well. I like the colors better than most shiney black laptops today that show every finger print and spec of dust. Also, the bezel arround the disply is like textured/dimpled flat black which doesn't reflect glare or show prints. The keys are also simular flat black. The only two things I don't like is the sound is a tad weak and the SD card slot doesn't have that spring loaded click into place tactile feedback, instead it just sorta bottoms out without any indication other than whatever pops up to let you know it is in place. Both minor issues for me so much so that I almost bought another one because it runs linux very well. Everything works under linux with this laptop including the wifi and vga dual monitor output.

Office Depot sells the next two models up from this one that includes dialup modem with or without additional ram. Model: L455-S5980 and L455-S5989 I have no information about linux support for the dialup modem but everything else should work in linux.

So I finally got my hands on this thing and all I gotta say is Wow! The screen is simply amazing it's so crisp and bright. It's quite snappy and all around a spectacular notebook. I've even got XP installed through VMWare Fusion so I can run mIRC again after all these years.

I'd like to start by building an app for Hawkee. Maybe something similar to the Facebook app where you can check your friends' activities and notices. It really depends on how much time it will cost me though and what other projects I have in front of it.

That post makes a good case for building apps that have long term value, so that really supports my idea to do a Hawkee app.

Nice, you have any ideas for apps yet?

I just found this on Gizmodo and thought it was interesting: The Life of an iPhone App: Nasty, Brutish and Short

It's well worth it, and I don't think I could live with any other computer. I made the switch 4 years ago and I've got no plans to go back whatsoever. Also, never had a problem getting applications that do exactly what I want. OS X is a very well supported operating system.
