I think you're still missing the point. If somebody out there is touting it as a 'Serious computing tool' I've missed it. And I'm not saying it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, just that it does a handful of things really well IMHO. And when you couple these together it's worth the money. Like the battery life thing. If I want to use my laptop in a remote location to do something simple like getting on the net I have to check and see if there is enough battery life or will I have to plug it in. Usually I don't even want to worry about the battery and just plug it in. That doesn't sound like much until you find yourself constantly saying nah, I don't feel like dragging it all out. Funny how it even get's compared to a laptops...
I don't consider my netbook a laptop by any means. It's much more portable than a laptop. And my battery life is also superb, if I'm hammering away at it all day long I can still go more than a day between charges. With just casual web surfing and other stuff I can go more than a week between charges. And I can still do more with it than the iPad and it costs less. Like I said, it's your money. If you're happy with it then that's all that matters.
