Too many people are calling this thing overpriced, but remember that a 64GB iPad is $699. Then, in addition, you're getting a full OS, a stronger processor, a dedicated graphics chip, and this last one's dumb, but you're getting a keyboard too. So I think pricing is spot-on for the 11" specs. If I replace my primary machine (a first-gen Macbook) with this, though, it would need to be the 13". The 11" seems like a secondary machine. One question, though: isn't instant start-up trivial for a laptop?

Overpriced compared to what? A plastic netbook with a cheap screen? The one thing you can't overlook is the onboard flash storage. That stuff still isn't as cheap as most of us would like.
