I agree, I'd always go for a trackpad over an undersized trackpad on my small device, cut the size by half and actually get a more useful control method at the same time.

For long periods I use a mouse with my P but the pointing stick is so good I usually don't bother.

I have the P, it accomplishes what it was designed for perfectly and with style. It's perfect for my jacket pocket or hoody and I get plenty of use throughout the day in college.

People who say netbooks are superior don't grasp the concept.
A notebook that fits in your pocket rather than a slightly smaller laptop that costs less and is less powerful.
The P trades power for portability wheras a netbook trades power for a slight reduction in size and cost.

I my opinion this lacks the style of the P so I'll stick with mine until I can afford the 2GHz version of the P.

I'm surprised more netbook makers haven't gone this route to make their systems smaller, yet keep relatively large keyboards. Pointing sticks beat the hell out of small touchpads anyway.
