Geh~ @doug You have a point. There's that thing about not looking at an ultraportable as a primary work computer but for people who are really on the go too often, it might be considered a special case. I guess my thinking is that I'd rather have just one ultraportable machine for everything but if I can't afford it, two machines might be fine. :) With the money saved, you could get a really powerful desktop machine and then some. @timelady Happy birthday! :D I hope you get an Asus EEE for your birthday ;) The battery is another issue.

I don't think an ultra-lightweight and ultra-portable computer should be viewed realistically as a primary work computer, but as something that's super easy to haul around yet still can handle most everyday functions. If the Asus can do this all for less that 25% of the cost of the Air, I see no reason not to pick it. With the money I save I can go and buy a decent full-size laptop for working at home.

I love its specs, and its stats. Want. Macbook Air - so cynical with its non user removable battery. So deficient in anything amazing but wow look at that thinness. Typical Apple, shiny as hell, but to be honest, just not what it could be, and damn, you will pay for what could make it better. I would easily take the Asus (hint, its my birthday soon people! ;) ).
