Am I missing something with these machines? I just priced generic Acer and Asus laptops with the same specs to the Lemur, and they both came out $200 cheaper.

Mind you, they come with Windows pre-installed, but the Ubuntu installer will happily reformat the drive before installing itself. And they're all just generic laptop hardware (HID trackpad, Intel graphics), so I doubt that drivers are an issue.
