I don't own one, but I've been eying the new Dell Mini:

Anybody have any experience with it?  I'm usually not one for Dells,
but the thing looks slick, and the keyboard seems to be more of a
normal size than what comes with the Eee.  Looks like they can
pre-load it with Ubuntu 8.04, too, if that's something that interests
you...
