The only thing that concerns me, for drive space reasons, is that this is a full blown mac running the full blown Mac OSX system. Utilities and files take up a lot more space, even if you aren't do a lot of content-creation on one, than the iOS devices have. Partially because the iOS devices generally run smaller programs, most producing smaller data files.
The separation is whether you consider this a content creator (I'm not talking Logic Pro, Final Cut or anything, but everything else) or a consumption machine for which you pay the extra money so you have total freedom to run the browser engines you want. Now, I do understand that due to the horrible resolution of Netbooks, this is a machine much more capable of handling the display with all those browsers. It's also probably the coolest machine that can play all those flash games and MMOs. Though I guess much of that gaming wont be used on such a device without an external HD for which Windows is installed on. 64GB SSDs will probably stick with the single operating system option.
Still. It's neat. I'm still thinking about where this would fit in. In some ways, it does almost seem like it's treading into the Macbook arena, given that the pro-connections are mostly left out and yes that Core2Duo is very important for the bigger utilities I always use on my 13" MBP. However, my 2008 Macbook doesn't have quite that many advantages here, with the exception that I did put a much larger HD in it.
