Great review! I too tend to agree that this has it's place ... especially for someone who spends time on planes and needs basic office applications. I fly a lot and while I like the fact that I can play Borderlands on the plane, carrying around a 15" laptop becomes kind of a pain.
But ... as mentioned the price in Canada is insane ... Personally I would have a hard time spending $1000 on it ... regardless of the size and portability. Now ... if you could buy it barebones without the ram and hdd for cheap i'd be all over it .. but that certainly isn't happening.
