Flash memory drives will be expensive for a while... But its the wave of the future. Just caught a 256GB one at a tech site...
This is basically either or both a bandage and or rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship. It add nothing that is not already available and is more expensive.
Before some one says the Sony Reader and the other eink readers are like this. They are not. They have the tech for its market that were needed... Readable screen in medium to direct sun light and up to a month standby or at least 5000 pages. Other units in the past were adaptation of what was then poor or small LCD screen and limited battery life... AKA the reader fits the next generation. Not perfection but close enough to be usfull.
I do not recommend under 500 dollar laptops. Basically low power in more ways then one... Usually bulky heavy and prone to breakage.
