FAO Shoddy

I recently bought one. It's a good computer and fairly fast, good memory size etc. Very light (1.2 kg I think) and battery life is excellent (with low screen brightness and wifi off I've got 10 hours out of the battery), but as BC points out, the major flaw is the small screen.
For work reasons I often have two screens open, one above the other, and it gives you only a small slot of a window and on many web pages be prepared to do a lot of scrolling down to see whole pages. The small screen also means that I often trigger the camera menus to pop up at the top of the screen or the toolbar at the bottom. No CD drive means you won't be able to watch dvds etc directly and small keys means you need a USB keyboard if you want to do any lengthy typing.
It's still useful though, great to take on trips etc as SiH says. On the whole though, I'd buy one again, but I'd go for slightly larger one with a bigger screen, mine's 10.1".
