Looks like it is already available at Qbitonline.com in both black and white, priced at US$480…

I was almost excited about this model until I saw that I would have to take apart the laptop in order to replace the harddrive with an ocz vertex solid state drive.

I would rather sacrifice having to deal with a slightly bigger netbook than deal with a slower, mechanical moving, 99% like to fail if I accidently drop it harddrive.

If they just made the harddrive easily accessible to replace, this model would win me over.

Guess ill be getting the 1000he still.

Just got my 1005HA from a store (in Germany) and uploaded an unboxing video to YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xyS3mZkVAc

I was referring to the 10.5 hr version which has a glossy mirror screen. The shorter battery version has a matte screen. This computer is definitely better than the 1008HA.

If it had an increased vertical resolution and a matte screen, I would buy it to replace my 900HA and my 12″ laptop.
