Was $699, only concern I have is the VIA processor, which I think may not be as good as the Atom in most netbooks. Still you get some free software too.

  Can't find reference to this laptop anywhere on the manufacturer's website:

  The only one that comes close is DreamBook Lite IL3 with the 10" screen and that is definitely an Intel Atom not VIA C7 - The original DreamBook (VIA) comes in a 7" and 8.9" so not too sure what BigW is selling (assuming its not a typo).

  Every time I see these deals it just makes me think I should have bought the EEE PC 1000H for $499 when I had a chance..

  cyssero, I agree, the Eee PC 1000H 160Gb a couple of months ago was a bargain at $599 or less and the 80Gb at $499 is close to unbeatable, for now.

  If the Dell 12" netbook is $749, the 10" makers need to keep their offerings attractive or risk losing some sales.
  Some of the 10" buyers could go for the 12" alternative.

  What do you think?

    Well if the dell 12" was $749, then i would be sold… but isn't it $849? http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx…

  If it comes with VIA processor, you might as well get the HP Mini-note 2133 which is a much better package overall.

  I think that going VIA C7 over atom is a big mistake:

  And considering MSI wind is at around the same price with atom and everything else pretty much the same, this is not a good deal.
