In case you missed it, GPD have addressed both of these issues in the forthcoming GPD MicroPC. I'd normally be weary about linking to a crowd funding campaign knowing how many people here have been stung, but GPD have a decent track record, so here it is:

GPD are coming very close to producing a device I might actually buy. It's a shame this one only has 4GB. It's really tempting at only $299 but I kind of see it as just another toy. If it had 8GB I'd be able to justify purchasing it as a replacement for my laptop.
