And since we're dealing with a very thin OS, what do you need more than 2GB of RAM for?
Sure it's fair to compare the two; especially since these devices are aimed at casual users. They'll be more interested in a $199 price tag versus a $279 price tag.

As to the 2GB, I was referring to the price point. $249 will get you a 4GB Acer.
