found the notebook you linked for sale,

I like the specs, but when you dig into the reviews, when the system is unplugged it clocks the proc down to 800mhz (from the same review you quoted, goes on to say 'atom like' performance on battery), and still only gets the average netbook life of 2.5hours on the standard battery. plus a current currency conversion shows the system selling at: 790.80 + shipping. That should hopefully come down when it is released stateside (note, my point of reference is as a US consumer). I like the added feature of an integrated touchscreen, but don't know how practical it is (I type faster than I scribble).
As for the AMD 'Puma' platform, the most recent update on it I found was from June, from ars technica

their conclusion:
Nothing against AMD, but I don't have a loyalty in this. give me the best performing system that meets the requirements of the job (this can include but not limited to: performance, battery life, cost, warranty(length and typical turnaround times)). I would love to build a new system with an AMD chip, (maybe shanghai?) and they have definitely shown they are still competitive in the graphics dept. (48XX series). Hopefully the new split from AMD and 'The Foundry Company' will allow them the ability to get fully competitive.
gah I write too much when I drink...but I get better at sourcing :). Please don't take this as being harsh, I'm just trying to help answer why the Atom chip is popular. Give me the next best new thing in netbooks, and I'll switch...like the celeron to atom progression from Asus.
