the X300 is better than the X200 by a substantial margine. the X300 is also found in notebooks that are CHEAPER

edit: NM my original post was correct, the x200 sucks
I doubt you'll find a ultraportable with X300 graphics that's cheaper than MSI MegaBook S270 with X200 graphics. Compared to other integrated graphics solutions the X200 dosen't suck at all on real world applications. Don't be blinded by synthetic tests, see this instead:

I'd get the Sony s360 like people have mentioned. You can get it for $US1350 at the moment.

Definitely the S270 or S360. S360's can be found for around $1500 after rebates at CompUSA, Best Buy, etc.

Nothing beats the 9700 you can get in some of the Vaio's (although they'll be discontinued some day)... We can hope, though.

Umm as far as I know, it doesnt have the x700 - rather it has integrated graphics.

Comes with integrated Intel 915 graphics, not X700.

Yep, it's been confirm that was just a rumor. I had someone went to the Acer store in Hong Kong and check the unit on display and it's only a 915.
