Has anyone had any experience with this nettop? Or come accross some decent reviews or peformance benches? It looks like it could be a nice light and mobile media/browser/writing device.

I'm wanting to replace my Archos in sig. Something as capable+ with strong battery life (Archos battery is dying). A tablet crossed my mind but is a real pain for typing.
But the temash cpu of the X102BA looks like it may be a little on the weak side as a 1ghz (A4-1200 dual core) :/
Perhaps slighly better, I think, than the Atom D510 (2c4t) in the Archos which in all honestly handles the multitasking demanded of it reasonably well. (An SSD really helped this device perform as it should). It's GPU in tandem with its FSB lets it down however, only smoothly playing HD on a good day and hiccuping at times with media/browsing/bandwith intensive moments.
A downside on the ASUS is the TN panel, it cannot be worse then the Archos but far short of tablet IPS screens. And as with any laptop screen a shame about the res, frame looks like it could squeeze an extra inch, and it's full on glare. But that no doubt helps battery life.
Plus not sure whether it's easy to swap out the hdd to ssd either, which would be critical.
