I do like the idea of a big netbook, like the Dell Mini 12. Nice screen, near fullsize keyboard, but still light-weight and small enough to easily carry in a bag/backpack/etc. It'd be a useful companion to my large, heavy, desktop-replacement laptop. But the Mini 12 isn't available with a SSD, the graphics card has poor or non-existent Linux support, and initial pricing isn't appealing.
