I'm currently considering a 901. Does anyone here have one and have any comments (good or bad) about it?
Yes, mine arrived yesterday. First impressions are favourable: screen is fine for viewing my digital photos, speed running Stellarium is good, Python 2.5 and 2.5 are loaded, I've been able to install Emacs, LaTeX and tcsh.
Python 2.5 and 2.5?! Wow! And, err, what on earth did you install tcsh for? csh is a very very bad shell.
Haven't been able to get it working on my home wifi yet, nor configure the control key onto caps lock. Keyboard is dinky, OK for those of us who've used a Libretto but tricky for those who haven't downsized in the past.
I intend to use it for presenting lectures, making notes in meetings and hacking code while out and about; for these, I think it'll be even better than my Mac.
Most things are better than a Mac ;)
But don't expect to type in that book you've always wanted to write.
I'm sure that'd be perfectly possible once one is used to the keyboard.
