New Ultra-Mobile PC: Ideal for Writers?

Finally, a (relatively) cheap laptop that weighs less than 2 pounds! Check this out and this.

I’ve been looking for something like this to carry with me, particularly on the weekends. My laptop is just a little large and heavy, and once it’s in its case, it’s practically a piece of luggage. I’ve looked at some other products (like the Dana and similar items), but I wanted something that’s actually a computer.

I even tried using a PDA with a keyboard, with very little success. It may have worked better had my combo not used IR for the keyboard/PDA connection, but it turned out to not be a viable arrangement.

For $600, I think I’d be willing to buy one. I think it’s going to be available in the fall, so I’ll keep my eyes open.
