Performance is somewhat comparable to my Mac Mini both running Leopard 10.5.8 Here are the specs on both machines" 10v: Intel Atom N280, 2GB RAM, 250 SATA HD...... Mini: (Def...no SLOUCH) Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16(Upgraded) processor, 2GB Kingston Hyper X RAM, 250 7200 RPM HD I'm installing Snow Leopard this weekend along with Windows 7 Ultimate for Dual boot. Rubs Palms....this should be interesting. I'm VERY excited. The only other netbook I would consider is the Sony Vaio W Series but that's another 200 more for the exact same performance. The only advantage is the 720P HD screen. Good thing these Dells have the same hardware as the Macbook Pros (minus the processor of course chipset).For the price, there's NOTHING out there that compares. I'd do it again in a heartbeat I just got my 10v last night and I love it! bought it locally (clist) already upgraded & hackint0shed and its running pretty quickly.

Also, look for a refurb mini on the outlet site with a 6 Cell battery (only $30 more), don't just pick the lowest price. Where did you find a 2G stick for $19??
