Yeah, actually the Eee PC from Asus would have been the best, BUT (big
but) the unit didn't fit the requirement I needed unless the screen
folded back 180 degrees. And I got the PC for around $350 anyway- hard
to beat with a laptop. Mind you the whole setup will cost the same as a
laptop once I'm done - PC, UPS, and a 7" touch screen monitor... Can't
get that in a laptop anywhere.
