It does appeal to me

but I have enough gadgets at the moment.
They're a lot cheaper at
Laptops Direct.
Go for the 4GB version, not the 2GB.
My wife is into computers at Huddersfield University and they have bought quite a few of these. They are surprisingly good, although a slightly larger screen wouldn't go amiss for web browsing. The current ones run Xandros Linux. Asus are supposed to be bringing out a Windows version as well, and you can actually put XP on them now. However, this is not recommended because (of course!) Windows slows it down quite a lot. If you can live with Xandros, that's ideal for it.
Go for black rather than white - white gets grubby quickly.
My birthday is in six weeks.
