Battery is horrible, UP to 3 hours. This seems more like an ad than an actual post, and I would hate to see the price, and some of the features seem like they are just to take space...

That's a complete rip off, look elsewhere...anywhere.

$2000? No...
Yeah I guess you could say that it is good compared to those of 10 years ago, but all we have really been doing is putting more power into our computers so that they can run better, hence the crappy battery life. No one in their right mind would buy it...

Are you promoting it or something? Or just a big fan?
I have to agree with everyone else: you get too less for too much money. And the batterylife is a very important factor for any handheld-computer. You see the actual proof of that with the PSP, it's batterylife sucks, and that plays a major part in why it's selling the way it currently does.
Like Midgar said, technology has improved over the last decade, however comparing it to what else is on the market right now, I really do not see it's benefits. Sorry.
I therefore see it more as a gadget than as a real substitute for a computer.
