If the only thing you do with your laptop is check out the ETS forum, then here's an interesting upcoming product:
http://event.asus.com/eeepc/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PCVery light (2 lbs) and a small form factor (7 inch screen) for $199 USD. Wireless-b/g, flash hard drive, linux based OS, 4 USB 2.0 ports, 3 hours battery life. It is viewed partly as a response to the XO-1 notebook from the not-for-profit One Laptop per Child initiative. A very "democratic" laptop anyway.
What do you think?
