My main machine these days is a Lenovo netbook - about a 12" screen I think. Decent keyboard, very portable. I've got tablets but they all run Android and I find myself missing my custom bash scripts, emacs, vim, jed, joe, gkrellm, plus a decent keyboard. I can get lots done on tablets (esp. with a bluetooth keyboard). But I still find myself using this netbook almost every day. Somehow they must scratch different itches.
