that's cool, opinions vary. I think they are pretty cool. It's not a desktop replacement or a full blown laptop replacement but it could replace my portable dvd player, allow me to use wifi if I'm out and about because I don't have a wifi device or laptop now. It's small enough to put into a small bag, or have my wife toss in her purse. Hell I bet I could fit it in my storage compartment on my R6! People have been upgrading the memory from 512mb to 2GB as well. Still way cheaper than any other laptop you can buy. The screen is the only thing I wish was a little larger but for an ultra mobile pc it works.
