This ends you up with even smaller physical pixels - And a QL font is still 6x9, that means the characters will be even harder to read (uqlx cannot scale the QL screen like you can do with QPC) Regarding memory, I have invested in a cheap 8GB SD card that gives me more than enough headroom and added a 2Gig RAM chip. I use the eeePC for internet connectivity and QLing while travelling. It's fine for that, because it even fits in light luggage and you can carry it everywhere. But I'm still happy with my "home" laptop with large screen and normal keyboard which is fine if you don't need to carry it.
