(That said, I'm aware that normal protocol would be a link and a paragraph or two, maybe a bullet-point list of highlights. Forums don't need to cater to those on limited web-access.)

The thing is, buying one of these "computers" is going to be more expensive and not as portable. The battery life will not last as long.
