- Cant really call that low cost, I could pick up a low end Acer laptop with a 15 inch display at the local wal-mart for the same price

- Agreed, they can hardly be called cheap
. I have looked at some of the earlier Linux and WinXP models, the way too high price tag made them a gimmick, "being fish nor foul"
. Originally it was said that these would be a $200 -$300 mini laptop. With hard drive or solid state storage, and 7 inch screen (which is just about adequate, for someone on the move), unfortunately the manufacturers seem to be taking pi$$ at the $700 price tag. I'm sure they will eventually find a market, once priced at realistically.
