[cup-of-tea]

I own netbook and before that an actual Psion series 5 and series 7. They all really do seem like a great idea. On the netbook I set the text size tiny so I could still get two columns of 80 char lines. But the problem with all of them is the keyboard. It's just too small. If you're used to typing at a high wpm and use emacs like me then you will feel retarded. I never ended up doing anything productive on any of them.

I stuck to netbooks/sublaptops before and it kinda worked for me, last one was a Lenovo Ideapad. Was eyeing 13" MBPs for quite some time but they are really much more in weight/bulk. But last year went for 12" Mac with RAM maxed to 16gb, couldn't be happier. Almost netbook like outer dimensions: still comfortable to use on the bus/plane. Same weight and thinner, usable keyboard. Great battery life, and enough horsepower even with the m3 cpu. Fanless, just like my Ideapad was!
