I almost bought one of those on Saturday. Would you keep a regular laptop after buying one of these?
Abso-friggin-lutely!
Would you consider it a replacement for the laptop, an alternative or just a cool toy?
Toy/alternative. Long term, this thing is for my mom to get her youtubes, intarnets, and email. I don't see her ever needing/using significant horse power.
I tried one of the EeePCs and the keys were small enough I can't see using it for everything.
The size of the eee keyboard wasn't what got be so much as the key placement. The Aspire looks a little larger though.
In fact I ended up not getting one of those and just waited and got a full-size laptop.
The xo and eee I (breifly) had became another family gift. I wonder what my thoughts on the Aspire will be when it actually arrives.... Hopefully if I really like it, I can catch some more at the next wootoff.
