However, I am not a computer genius and want to make sure that there is good, service available. How does one solve problems on the Wind should they arise?

I may have to wait for an MID with an 800mhz silverthorne and low heat poulsbo chipset to get a unit that's significantly cool Is the wind fanless and passively cooled?

Afaik the TDP of the cpu is far lower then any of the possible chipset soultions that can be used in conjunction with the Atom. Seems like a great product, but the lack of cpu power is really going to be obvious when used as a portable movie player (mpg4 etc) I will probably wait for an updated revision with dual core, otherwise its spot on :) “It seems that the Wind’s CPU is located beneath the touchpad, which would account for its toasty temperature.”

I use the widget all the time so I know what's going on when the noisy cooling fan kicks into high gear.
