I looked over several of these. Lots of nice deals, but none have the right combo of features to get me to break open the piggy bank. I can see the attraction, though.

As for the Dell, the base model they describe is the US model which does come with a 4GB SSD at that price. Of course, there are lots of options available, including the $50 8GB/XP upgrade they describe, and the option to match your 16GB SSD. Did yours come with XP or Ubuntu? I've been wondering how well Ubuntu runs on these machines -- as much as I like it, it is a bit of a resource hog compared to other distros.
