Well not made by Apple anyway. Fully functional Mac OS running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on a Dell Mini 10v. Picked up the Netbook from Dell Outlet for $269 shipped. Included b/g/n wireless card, bluetooth, built in video cam, and 160gb HD. It came with Windows XP

No hardware modifications required, everything works just like my full sized MBP, just had to install a bootmaker and run extensions.

Actually not at all believe it or not. Photoshop opens up just about as quick as it does on my MBP in 32 bit mode. 64 bit mode on the MBP obviously blows it away. I've been playing with this all weekend and have yet to notice anything being unusually slow.

What do you do when you want to add things to it? Hook-up an external DVD drive?

I always make disk images of software for backup. I have a network drive and two other Macs that I can access through this mini, but yes I also have an external DVD that I can hook up if required.
