Anyone have any experience with one?  I was thinking of buying one for word processing on the go, especially since in some of the rural courthouses I have to frequent they won't let any attorney touch their computers.

This is the Dell Mini 10 I am considering:

Well, I have officially decided agin it.  The jackasses at Cellular South realized their error.  Their store had a sign selling the unlocked version for $279.99 this morning; this afternoon, that sign was conspicuously absent.

I have one of the Acer Aspire One's with the 9 inch screen & am pretty happy with it.  Got it for just under $250.

Where the fuck did you get it that cheap?

Oh, wait, it's the 9.

Need a 10.

Buy.com is pretty reliable :D   That's where I got my Aspire One earlier this year.  Plus you can get Bing Cash Back, which ain't much (like 2%), but it's free money nonetheless.
