Thanks for posting those! I definitely like that laptop and will probably be buying that or an FW sometime very soon.

One quick question for you: One kind of cool thing is that quick web button that brings up a Splashtop Web Browser without having to boot the computer up. I had never heard of that until I started looking into the NW.
Do you know how does security fare on that? If you use Windows Firewal or any other Windows based firewalll I would imagine you would be unprotected using that, right? What do you use, darkmage and what do you think of that feature in action? I think that could potentially come in really handy for my wife, but I was worrying a bit about how secure it was compared to my normal "boot-up" Firefox session.

BTW, I'd change the title if I could, but definitely think there ought to be an *Official* NW Series thread. Can any Mod change the title please?
