I'm on your side.

At $450, the price after the mail in rebate, the 900 eeePC is $150 less than the cheapest laptop, is much more portable, and infinitely tougher. Granted, you won't be playing M:TW2 on it, but for a combination net surfer, typewriter, MP3, video, and what-have-you machine that is the size of a thin hardcover book and that can be dropped on to a concrete floor and still work, it serves a purpose.

When my buddy brings his Toshiba laptop to work to show me stuff, it's in a big padded case and you have to be really careful with it. This thing isn't nearly so much a burden.

It's a tool. It is what you make of it.
