From what i have seen and heard its a pretty cool laptop, you might wanna ask yourself the question: What am i going to use it for? You sacrifice performance for portability (you obviously wont be able to play the latest games on it, or games that 2 or 3 years old for that matter). I might buy one myself in the near future for college, i really like the portability and wont use it for anything more than text processing and researching on the internet.
