these little laptops do just about as much as a smart phone, just with a keyboard n bigger screen, i would get 1 if i was doing major travel for a job or something, but otherwise nah my room mate has a litte 12" HP, It does what she wants fine, and HP will kill acer anyday but its still no powerhouse and is semi slow although Alienware (made by dell but dont come close the shitness of dells) do a range of these mini lappy's and they will out run most people's full size toshiba's and macbooks but your looking at like $1500-$2000 minimum for the smallest 1 (bit cheaper direct from them) VVVVVVV http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/topics/ ... l=en&s=dhs That little M11 is crazzzzy powerfull for its size
