You both missed the "but it is only a 10" display" on the other device
he looked at... so I suspect it rules out the AC100 too
I have an Asus eee900 with F18 that has a 10" screen. I find it hard to
work with for 'real' office docs. And ppts from windows systems do not
render properly (no problem on my Lenovo x120e 12" with F17).
So I REALLY like 12" for general use and AIRPLANE use (how do people
work with 14" in those squished seating), I have found the 10" format
really not enough for general purpose use.
Thanks all for the update.
