What the first poster doesn't look at is price, and size. When I'm looking for an ultra lite PC, the price goes UP. The ASUS gives a choice where the price goes DOWN. Right now, the cheap laptops have 15.4" screens. That's fine for a desktop replacement, but I actually carry my laptop around. Small, cheap, light, with reasonable to good applications is what I'm looking for.
