The DIY Netbook is a great idea., Unfortunately, the execution on this one is sadly lacking. A two hour battery? What were they thinking? Why not leave it out of the base configuration and make it a user installable item? The main, consistent complaint of Netbooks is the size and feel of the keyboard. I have seen nothing that says this one is not average. The big feature of the next generation of Netbooks is a touch sensitive screen and they are already starting to come out. Why not offer this option as a second base model? I love OCZ products. I hate that I am going to have to pass on this one since I am planing to buy a Netbook this summer. So close ... so easy to make a bullseye ... but this one falls into the "Good idea, poorly executed" category. I'll pass. Asus, here I come. OCZ … great products on the cutting edge … terrific support and warrantee service.
