Not available until the end of May, and nearly £400.

Still, it's a competitor to the Asus EeePC and has a larger screen, although the Asus is supposed to be getting a 9.5" screen in June. I prefer the concept of the Asus with solid state 'drives', although the space is limited at the moment.

Not wishing to sound like a Linuxaholic but something like this or the Asus would make an excellent, virus-proof internet portal - even if you needed to add an external monitor, mouse and keyboard.
