It depends what you use it for. I use a Pac Mate, and find it very useful In my job I visit people. It is nice to have the PM instantly on when I want to read something, and I don't have a screen flopping around. It's easy to carry around, and the battery lasts many times longer than a laptop battery.
For taking notes and leading meetings, it works as well as a laptop would for me, and again, I don't have to wait for it to boot up.
