It has a built in multi card reader and is all matte finish (shell and screen). Both are advantages over many of the other units available as far as I am concerned. In this world of "me to" netbooks the little things make a difference. It would be nice if more manufacturers took a few risks but it doesn't seem very likely in this economy. Brad, not that bland.
