eh, kind of pricey for what they give you.

I would expect the price to be lower, but beggers cannot be choosers.

But you do know that smaller devices usually cost more than bigger ones in IT, right?
11,9"/12,3" Notebooks cost around 1500-2500 bucks.

actually, no I did not know that. I Would have assumed they were cheaper, being as they are smaller.

No, smaller=more expensive.

Companies have to try harder to pack in those features of a full computer in about 1/2 i.n of width, plus have the screen built in too.

It's very difficult, but who wants to lug around a Shuttle PC and a 20 in. LCD at the airport?

VIA C7's are incredibly slow, too slow to do anything beyond typing a word document.
