I think the new NB5xx series are too new to have reviews hehe 
Anyway, the NB520 combines the old user-friendly design from the NB300/305 and the keyboard from the Portege T130. There's no more chiclet keyboards on these babies anymore  But still, can expect the best in terms of ergonomics and user friendliness from these new netbooks...
Also, lee_what sifu also has a point in that while using your keyboard, your hands will most probably block the speakers LOL....

Still, them speakers look really awesome; way bigger than what I expected... audio quality will be much better than predicted as well 
Also, the sleep-&-music (also available in the M645) will be real cool as well where you can use the netbook's harman/kardon speakers to play songs even when the netbook is off....

Umm, actually I am using my mobile 5800 XM to surf internet until I get a laptop and sadly the site you have given to me is not working .. Um, what is the site about ? :[
What is the meaning of sifu ?

Dedicated video memory means the GPU got its own RAM
Shared video memory is the GPU borrow the RAM from the system as the GPU don't have its own RAM..

Ops, sorry about that, the link seemd inaccurate as well.
Anyway, you can have a look at the new NB520 netbooks here:

Anyway, sifu= master 

You mean the SandyBridge processor?
