Thanks, Sarah. Good to hear from someone who also had the Lifebook (would love to know why you no longer have it). Thanks to all your responses, I think that I will go with the PE. I loved the Windows functionality of the Lifebook, especially OneNote. If I can't get it fixed, I can replace it, used, for about $500. Much as I love the dual screen and I'd like to be able to comment on pdfs, OneNote and Windows is my real need for a netbook. One the other hand, with a really dumb phone, the PE would fill a mobile niche and fit into what I already carry daily. The price also just dropped to $299 (Newegg picked it up, and Amazon's price followed). That ay have turned it for me.
