It says "INTEL MOBILE CPU." Now check the 901 or 1000 and you see "INTEL ATOM CPU." So you'll be buying a celeron-M model, all that has changed is the size of the HD. Wish I knew how that change was though -- is this just removing the (fast) 4 gig soldered disk and leaving the slow 16 gig disk from the Linux 900's? Look down in the product listing.

Is this just a mistype in the model number or has Asus pulled another switch-a-roo? Recall all the varieties of the 700/701 they shipped? G.
