Played with one at my Apple fanatic sister’s house this weekend.
Not a bad device, but it’s an “appliance”.
Good for surfing and entertainment, but certainly not for PC or Mac replacement.
Exactly right; it's a toy for surfing or reading. Personally, I have a spare eeePC 1000HE for that purpose, that lasts a LONG time (around 8 hours), has a larger screen with about the same number of pixels, and a keyboard that you can actually type on.
No it doesn't replace my monster 17" HP laptop, but it is light and long-lasting and makes a fun little toy to have around. The ability to use it as a "real" computer is a big benefit.
Best thing of all: with it's 160 GB HDD, Atom processor, and "full" OS, it's a great media server for my Squeezebox! I have about 400 CDs of music ripped - lossless - on it and it makes a wonderful low power, silent media server.
