I have to agree. For the money I decided to get a really nice ASUS IEEE laptop with the extra memory. The thing can run some pretty cool stuff if you are patient. Also, Amazon has released the Kindle software for the PC which I have loaded up onto the IEEE. I don't get the same battery life or experience, but I can view PDF's, watch movies, write code, and much more for just a bit more money.
