Opps - Darter has smaller more costly screen.

The example above is not apples for apples... you really need to compare with the 12" Dell class of machines to do a comparision.

If you check with the prices on 12.5 inch and 13 inch class machines. You will see that Darter is competative.

Albiet - they are way out of line with the price of a OLPC (one laptop per child) laptop... that I really want... and/or an intel one that is comparable (except the Intel system does not have the battery life of a OLPC).

$200 - $250 for mobile email, web browse, etc and mobile laptop DVD viewing, would be about right. Of course with LINUX installed.
