This is slightly off-topic, but I stumbled on this and wondered
what the experts here thought of it as an alternative to a
notebook. It doesn't have a display or keyboard, but as a way to
carry the system to/from various locations where there's a monitor
and keyboard available, it could be fun.

The site is kind of screwy, different links take you to different
versions at different prices, but it appears to be: 2lb, 1.3GHz
max, 512Mb RAM max, 1280x1024, DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo available,
"standard" notebook HD, includes USB, FireWire, serial, parallel,
RJ45, RJ11, keyboard, mouse, IR, VGA, TV-out ports.

Just wondered whether this was reasonable as a notebook
alternative, if monitor and keyboard were always available. Price
is about U$1200.

Thanks for opinions!
