I have one, great for something to put into the briefcase/... and
do presentations, read email, odds & ends of work - but the screen is
a bit small (pixells) & keyboard fiddley (my fingers are about the same
size as yours). I did spend a week using it with a usb keyboard & external
monitor and it was fine.

Summary: good to walk about, not as a primary machine.

A few weeks ago you could get them here (good price too):
