While next Christmas is going to provide us with many hard choices, but I'll have to pass on this one.

Two points -

Battery life - 6 hours. I'm not going to be ridiculous and say "If it doesn’t last for XXX hours, it's no good!" When a manufacturer says that a product will last for x hours then you can depend on it. Under certain limited conditions. Real use will be less. I'll need 7 to 8 REAL use hours.

Weight - Almost 2 pounds (850 g with 3G). Not even considering that you will want to put it in something (more weight) to protect it. Now add in the charger.

My Toshiba laptop/tablet pc is close to this now. I want something lighter, more portable.
