It&#8217;s almost the end of August now and it&#8217;s still just &#8220;leaked&#8230; specs&#8221; a few days before the supposed release date (August 22). If Dell is releasing the netbooks on August 22, shouldn&#8217;t they have released the full specs and pricing (not just &#8220;leads&#8221; and speculation) a lot earlier? <\/p>\n<p> Well, I&#8217;m curious to see how this all turns out. I love my Eee, but I don&#8217;t love its Ubuntu-unfriendliness (I don&#8217;t think I can go back to Xandros at this point). If the Dell Inspiron 901s are priced reasonably, get good reviews, and come preinstalled with a Ubuntu version that boots up within seconds, then I may just regift my Eee to a friend who doesn&#8217;t mind Xandros and who also travels a lot. <\/p>\n<p> Bring it on, Dell!
