I hope the industry source is correct about the prices. If the 80GB launches in the UK for under £150 (if I understand correctly) then I'll be sorely tempted. I'm slightly cynical though, as it would almost be the same as the US price (or cheaper in the 160GB's case). I'll remain optimistic in this case though.

For under £200 for the 160GB version, I'd make the jump and put final version retail Windows 7 on it come 22 October.

Otherwise, it is just still a little too pricey.

This is for a PC btw - I don't think it is just netbook users who will jump for this.

@Greg - it's simple: 80GB boot drive with Windows 7 and applications on and either a) cheap additional HDDs for storing photos, media, etc or b) NAS

Looks like those prices are ex VAT, based on the preorder prices bouncing around (e.g. Scan £159 ex VAT = £183 inc VAT for 80GB / £309 ex VAT = £355 inc VAT for 160GB).

That's a good call Gordon, but I just like to have the little bit of extra space on the core OS drive for main applications - Photoshop, Lightroom etc.

I keep 3 TB of other hdds currently, although that is a bit false as half of that capacity is used as a backup. RAW photos sure take up a lot of space!

@Greg: Surely 80GB is more than enough for an OS and apps?

I thought so, until I ordered a base model mac mini with a 120GB hard drive... Adobe CS 4 and a few games take up a lot of space!
