No doubt inspired by the drive to create the $100 laptop, netbooks (teeny, tiny laptops) have been coming on strong.
The Aspire One (photo at left) and the Eee PC 1000 are popular options. This is a HOT segment right now.
And you're right that the little Atom chip from Intel is awesome.
At 2W max power consumption (compared to something like 35W for a Core 2 Duo laptop chip), with a big 6-cell battery, you can easily get five or six hours of battery life.
