I have 2 netbooks, one with a good screen brightness control (Asus Eee) and the other which doesn't really dim enough. It makes all the difference in the reading experience in dim/dark light. I find the Eee fine to read with, but the Classmate does irritate my eyes in a short time, as does a pbook + bright lamp.
I think that a good range of brightness control is a critical factor. In any case, this looks like a very handy device overall. Thanks to Chippy and ColdSun for all the detailed info - I feel as if I practically have the device in my hands (well, not quite
).
