1. It's pretty good for you. The only bad thing about that laptop is that it is really really small so it will be hard to read. Sometimes it will be hard to handle too.
2. i own one. and i love it. has enough power to play half life 2. and its not too sophisticated and complex and you could see all the words just fine. but on second hand the msi wind is a bit nicer.
3. I was looking at one of these earlier this week. It's not meant to replace a regular laptop, it's mostly for going online for emails. Yes, it has a VERY LIMITED 60 day trial of Windows XP, you have to subscribe for this separately. So count that as an added cost. With the memory and speed, I wouldn't try anything on Powerpoint with this. A shopping list in Word or something is more like it. After looking at it, it just seemed like a glorified PDA with internet connectivity.
4. I love mine. It is much more than a glorified PDA. I use mine for quite a bit of typing (blogs and papers), spreadsheets. I have used it for powerpoint and editing photos and the screen works for me. The size works for me even more because it is just TOO easy to carry around and use. Personally I'm not into gaming and I don't know how well the screen would work for that (more power to the guy with Half Life), but for everything else it works well and fast. And Internet connectivity is great. This can be your only computer.
