What did you like most about it? How could you see yourself using it?

Details, my man... Details!
Well, one thing I'll tell you right away is that it was much larger than my Dell Mini9, side by side. But, ironically, it has a true dual core (vs hyperthreaded single core Atom at 1.2GHz) and lasts up to 16 hours (vs maybe up to 8 hours if I'm careful--more likely 6 on the Mini, which is still pretty nice, mind you) and also has a higher resolution (1280x800 vs the mini's 1024x600). So, as stated, it's a GREAT netbook! But when I held it and tried see if I could get comfortable with it, it felt a little awkward since I'm used to my Galaxy Tab's portability and I started to wonder how I'd carry it around. My Tab just simply slips into a pocket (hip, cargo or even my coat's chest pocket) just fine--this wouldn't fit into my biggest pocket. It's a mixed blessing--too big to fit like my Galaxy Tab, but NICE and big to look at unlike my Dell mini.

My coworker has a pretty nice carrying sleeve that works pretty nicely, though. I might see that being handy to carry it around, but I STILL can't see myself casually bringing it everywhere the way I do a 7-inch tablet.

Performance seemed to be about what I expected, having already used a Moto Xoom before--just far more fluid, but I expected that too.

Any particular aspect of impression you're looking for?
