Thanks benjo plz. for the info. Do you have a link to that info, this will hopefully give us an insight as to whether or not there is a RAM slot onboard.

I'm afraid the sites french and the video's in italian, but it's fairly clear what's what. linky

Shame, but predictable.

Found preorders on a competitor for £199, allegedly coming in stock on the 25th.

Fingers crossed, although I'm sure they'll up the price before then.

No sign of these on OcUK yet.

Hmm, I wonder, does this competitor honour their pre order prices?

I doubt it

This does look quite tasty.

Gah too many netbooks going around at the moment

Just done some hunting and a competitor has the 8GB Linux version available on PreOrder for £199.99

With it slated as being released on the 25th of this month.

I think I'm putting that down for preorder

I've gone for blue personally, as I'm sure you guessed

It looks a little different, and from pictures it seems to have a little better look to it in general.

Hmmm, I'm tempted to order one too ! But still not sure if they might just shoot the price up towards the release date. Anyone know how they deal with pre orders and prices ?

Slinger is your email in trust up-to-date?

It's best not to really talk about competitors or even hinting about how good they are on here.

I'll email you my opinion if your trust is up to date.

I've (pre)ordered stuff off them before with no problems.

yeah the first slingman one is ok to use.

sorry about the competitor chat, I did wonder if I was going over the line or not. wont chat anymore about them.

EDIT: Thx for the email nikebee, much appreciated

nikebee · 4 Jul 2008 at 00:37

Ah was just wondering if you'd got it going by that reply and just emailed you again

Some good finds there, I'll have a read through those and see what they say.

I totally agree on colour though, I'm leaning a bit towards blue but they both look really nice. Not 100% sure yet

Haven't seen what?

Looks like the 120GB HDD version to me? Unless I've missed something obvious

I ordered white, because I couldn't see the blue.
Cancelled and ordered blue once I'd found it
