My current laptop is too big to drag around when I cycle tour. All I really want is emacs as an authoring system but clearly wireless etc would be beneficial if its a light, robust laptop we are talking. I would prefer Linux as the OS underneath and have been considering the EEE but some funny business with the batetry capacity have caused me to rethink. Sylvania Meso GNU/Linux MSI Wind Windows XP (who cares---replace it) But basically a full keyboard emacs device is all I want, preferably with a USB port for later transfer of org files to my main development machine. Both of them have several ports. I glanced at them at work yesterday and the Sylvania's keyboard was what drew my attention.
