Battery life is good, performance is good, but I need internal modem

This netbook was quite a good buy. However, why so expensive? I dont think that the dock is worth so much? The battery indicator I hardly use and there is so much fancy trim, its just a netbook.

This Booktop looks like a little like an apple product, which I have a lot of. I like the black-white colour tones, and I dont need to plug in cables. Use an external monitor. Quite useful.

Nice notebook with a dock. Charges and connects to an external monitor. Saves plugging in cables.

I like the battery indicator on this Gigabyte Booktop when the unit is off. Saves me the trouble of switching on to check if I have enough charge b4 I leave the house. Glossy white though.... uhhh..
