Engadget.com: After so many ages of waiting the Fusion devices are upon us, and here's Dell's entry. It's the M102z, rocking an AMD E-350 processor at 1.6GHz and Radeon HD 6310 graphics, 4GB of RAM, and an 11.6-inch display managing 1366 x 768 -- not bad for a little guy priced at $699. If that's a little too rich there's a 1GHz model with half the memory and slightly lower spec graphics for $599. Or, if you really like watching commercials, step it up to the $759 model with a built-in TV tuner. All are said to be available now abroad and should be hitting these shores soon, so if you had your finger hovering over the "Buy Now" button on an HP dm1z you might just want to hold off for a little while.

Keep tuned to MyDellMini forum for more news and updates about the new Dell Inspiron M102z...

I have always liked AMD in a desk top, because of the speed, but have always have had an overheating problem in laptops. Anybody else? It seams to me the mini runs hot anyway, so wouldn't it be best to run with the Intel? I keep mine on a cooling pad anyway, so I guess it would be o.k.
Just a thought... Mr. Dave

3.44 pounds? (And that's with the 6-cell battery). Not a netbook, to be sure.

I was hoping that there would be new fanless mini-models based on fusion, guess this means that we're not going to see that.

AMD Fusions still (can) run hot. I'd prefer a fan, but 14 hours, and a decent video chip...wow...mine too
