\o/ I'm so jazzed! It's working. It boots up in seconds, every time -- rather than maybe every other time and taking at least a minute or more. And it finds and connects to our wireless network instantly, as opposed to agonizing about it for five minutes. (I'm wondering if it'll have a healthier battery life too.)

The mini has an 8.9" screen, is a little more than 2 lbs, and has almost a full-sized keyboard. The perfect travel machine! (Especially now that it has a stable OS.) And it's silver and shiny!
