Pros: First it is the only one I know of with gigabit networking, this matters when you are coping movies and the like. It also has wireless n. The AMD RS690 chipset supports 4 GB of Ram and has a 1.6 GHz front side bus. I used Newegg Item#:N82E16820148288 4gig Crucial DDR2 800 CL 6. I also addeda 320 Gig 7200 rpm WD HD. My unit came with an ATI X1270 GPU wich plays 720p flawlessly to the 12 inch 1366 x 768 screen. The VGA port supports higher resolutions in desktop displays. I have not tested the HDMI port or 1080p. The display keyboard and touch pad are great for a machine this size. Add the synaptics generic drivers; just search on "synaptics drivers" and you will have scroll too. There is a empty mini PCIe card slot if you really got to have Bluetooth. I bought a HD hardware decoder instead, but I have not recieved it yet.
Cons: Glossy exterior and screen make finger prints a real problem and I would rather have a mat screen. Slow loading MS Office, but I think this is Microsoft's fault and is true with all netbooks.
Overall Review: This is the one to buy right now and probubly will be for a while.
