I'm writing this on my new laptop.  It's small but still easy to use.  I've been practicing typing on it and have gotten up to 57 wpm.

I use my Acer Aspire One at work when we go into meetings in the conference room.  Using Google Note Book I can take my notes on any machine or anywhere.  I get about two and a halve hours of battery time on the laptop and can get more time on the battery by switching on max battery life.
