Speaking as someone who carries around a laptop, I sure hope the eDGe can match most of my laptop's abilities. If not, then I'd be stuck with an extra 4 pounds. This would probably discourage me from carrying one or the other (whichever is less useful, which won't be the laptop).
2.75 pounds! Get yourself a Dell Mini 12 or a Mini 10v. Or there's that new EEE PC T91. Sure, it uses an 8.9" screen, but it swivels to a TabletPC configuration.
