For all those who want something portable and affordable I recommend checking into the asus eeepc. While it is not able to compete with the heavier laptops, it will fit the needs of many in my opinion.

I have a desktop to do all the things I need, but I would like a laptop to keep up with emails, news, updates.. etc.. and the asus eeepc 701 will do just that.

I was seriously considering one, but the shipping date keeps slipping and the price keeps going up. At $200-250, it's reasonable, at $300 and up I'm better of with a $400 Acer laptop from Walmart.
