With only 2GB of (flash) disk and no CD/DVD drive, it seems to fill a niche of “big PDA” more than laptop. Still, quite useful in that niche if most of what you’re using it for is web surfing and taking notes
That’s just what I was thinking - a big PDA. Attach a GPS device and some map software. A nice tool, not much bigger than a book.
2Gb will hold a lot of word processing. My entire manuscript-in-progress tops out at about 772Mb (375+ pages).
Portability—only 2 lbs — and the speed of the booting — make it a great machine for web surfing and emailing (which is what most people use $1000 plus machines for).
