The Pros:Larger than average screen for a netbook. Extremely thin. 12" screen allows for an enhanced 1280 x 800px resolution.
The Cons:Expensive for a netbook - the price of a full notebook. Heavier than most netbooks - 3.3 pounds. Via Nano processor is unproven for performance as well as power consumption.
