Experience with Gateway 200

Anybody have an experience with the new Gateway series, in particular the 200 series? They're good looking lappys and they have all the specs that I'm looking for.

I currently have a Inspiron 600m, which is a great laptop, just a little bit heavier than I like (around 5.5 to 6 lbs) for everyday carrying. I'm trying to lighten up my load a little bit more and the 200 looks pretty good. My criteria are Pentium M, lighter than my current set up, and at least 14.1" screen.
 
I know a few people who own Gateway 200X notebooks - the machines seem to be rebadged Samsung X10s.

There are only 2 disadvantages to the Gateway 200X
(1) Use of integrated graphics makes the machine unsuitable for games
(2) Small battery (3-cell standard) gives it half the battery life of other Centrino machines

This machine is a direct competitor to the Fujitsu Lifebook S series
