We picked up 10 Gobi 7 when we upgraded from a PC environment to Sun Rays in 2007. They were slightly <$1200 each through our Sun resellers. For our setup serving XP desktop clones via VMWare they work just like our 270s only portable. Sweet. We're just using a kiosk session, so I can't answer to using them as static user desktops. And if they leave the wireless network they don't *work.* Ha ha ha.

At that time, the Tadpole Meteor (similar to the current M1400, I believe) was $950. I couldn't find my notes for the Gobi, but IIRC, they were $1000-$1200 US (I may be misremembering that, though). We ended up not pursuing using thin laptops, so I can't tell you anything about how good either one is.
