Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.

You obviously badly need one of these. My wife won't let me order one but I might anyways and keep at the office. Plush Killer Bunny from Monty Python

#5 seems to have a Core 2 also.
I like how Mike just gathers information and then decides. It's so refreshing for somebody to not belabor the intricacies of a technology purchase.

A great price but you may want to read this review first. Sounds like the touch interface is still in a bit of an 'early adopter's' stage, if you know what I mean. Other reviews are similar in comments. It has more processing power than most of the other touch options in the netbook world though so it depends what you need.
I only mention it because I have been researching touch, tablet PCs and stuff lately as a more portable document manipulator for travel.
