This is more about what these are worth.

No 1080p, so no deal.

Specs are low? C'mon, it's for web browsing and email. That's it. Basically a PDA with a keyboard.

Perfect for a car computer with a 9" VGA USB touch screen, USB GPS and a USB powered DVD drive and have movies and MP3s.

PDA with keyboard? Does it too bulky to be consider as PDA? I agree it may be a very cost effective email machine but not as PDA

I was contemplating which is the better deal:
14 of these OR 1 of the new $2800 MacBook Pros.
Hmmm...

#12, that's like comparing a Ferrari with a 10 year old Moped. Granted the Moped gets better mileage, and for a 16 year olds first vehicle, and with only a piggy bank full of quarters, that may be a compelling reason to forgo the Ferrari, but at the end of the day,everything else about that comparison is ridiculous.

14 of these is certainly the better deal unless you must run with a herd.

#12 You with a new MacLap won't make a difference. Giving 13 of these away to children without access might.

#15 - I was thinking the same thing. At this price, this is very competitive to the One Laptop Per Child thingy. Maybe instead of a Wii, I'll give my favorite kid one of these machines.

Unless your eyes are as good as and your fingers small as a 6 year old, this isn't for you.

for a current generation netbook, these specs are low. but then again, this is a previous generation netbook. the worst aspect is the screen: 800x480. most web pages are design for at least 1024 and side-to-side scrolling to read the full width of a web page or article gets tiring quick.
