My wife and family were going to buy me one as a Fathers day/ graduation present, but after talking to me about them, decided not to. I just don't know what it does that my current laptop doesn't do. Sure, it's more portable, but is it useful as anything but a neato toy? Anything really useful, like GPS and mobile wireless is going to require a mobile plan, right? Is it useful for tech stuff? Does it have USB ports? Can I connect it to other devices like thumb drives or to an ethernet cable? Can I take remote control of a windows PC or conect to a remote network with a VPN client?

Although neat as hell, I'm not sure this is a tech geek centered tool as much as a toy for media and internet use.
