one great thing is its "instant -on" capability. I use mine for writing and keeping a journal. It can go anywhere and is always ready to work wihout waiting for bootup. Other advantages is that it is quiet and does not heat up in your lap.

I took it out of town just this past weekend to a cabin in the woods and to do some writing. When I got in a converstation about building some shelves, It came in handy for drawing and taking notes.
