At that screen size PDF's would display perfectly. Which would give students access to tens of thousands of electronic journal articles (almost all Journals provide full text in PDF, a few in HTML). I wish the experiment was going on at the University I work at. The students there could easily afford it.
Normally I would be all over this and order one on launch, but my son starts college this fall in NYC and I have started counting pennies. The funny thing is he was also accepted at St. John's University in NYC and would have received a "free" laptop as part of his tuition. I guess at some universities a free K3 (or it's equivalent) will be used as a recruitment tool.
