From 7" to 17", I'm finding that 13" is really the minimum screen size for all the things I want to do. 10" is fine for a tablet (media consumption) but 11.6"...not really enough for meaningful document creating and editing.
#1 I've been carefully looking at Asus reviews and in particular, comments on screen quality, and it seems that 2011 has been a good year. Seeing lots more positive reviews.
Suddenly the Mac Air doesn;t seem all that expensive. Remember, Asus still uses crap LCDs
