You could get a real nice Asus Eeepad Netbook for about the same and have more functionality and just an all around better machine. With HDMI it can double as a pretty solid media device as well.

I guess I just dont see why you would want a device with so little disk space and relying that much on cloud computing.

No way. The IT community at large is totally against it. Real IT geeks understand the value of local storage. Do you really want Microsoft, Google, or whomever to control your stored data? No.

Cloud computing is big at an executive level sure, but at the user level, not so much.
