JiWire's quick take

Likes
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Windows XP, QWERTY keyboard, multiple input options, dockable to big screen and regular keyboard/mouse.

Dislikes
Costs more than a loaded laptop, not upgradable, squinty screen, finicky stylus, poor battery life.

Good for
Laptop luggers who want to lessen their load, and Pocket PC users who want full Windows functionality.

Bad for
Manually or visually-challenged users should steer clear, as should those who need portable DVD drives and more computing horsepower.
