So, if we're not in to gaming, would something like this Asus EEEPC replace 
a laptop? -

| You can get an Asus EEEPC with an 80 GB hard drive.  A

| I am surprised the Asus EEE mobile PC isn't
| getting more of a mention.  Its a mobile PC like
| we're discussing here but the hard drive is flash
| based.  It only has a 4 or 8 GB drive depending
| on model but you can use SD cards to boost
| this.  This makes it quieter and the battery life
| is over 3 hours, I'm sure I heard 3.5.
