Small, light weight, and inexpensive; Windows XP for the same price as the Linux version.

Cramped keyboard; very little hard-drive space; low screen resolution; new ultramobile CPUs are coming soon.

This has a tremendous functionality for such ...

Lightweight, easy to transport. Good battery life, pretty easy setup even for a Linux novice. Very powerful for the size.
