Any one is using UMPC? Which brand is better? Even it is compact and easy to carry on but the capacity is quite small, is it worth to buy?

i'm using MSI wind u100. I also have the early eee 701. I like the MSI better, it has bigger screen, and bigger keyboard. The intel atom and 2GB ram (upgraded) is also helping a lot. The battery is not very good though, I only get 2 - 2.5 hours on the battery (it is a 3 cell batt, I can't find 6 cell in my area) Is it worth to buy - the answer to this might vary from person to person. It is worth for me, because I like trying out new editions of Linux and BSD, I try it out with these UMPCS, instead of a desktop. There are many routes/ways for experimenting with new OS, this is probably not the most economic way, but it works for me. If not for the battery life, it will be a perfect to lug around, you can still do, but you'll be needing an AC socket every 2 hours or so, that's a lot of hassle. thanks

Yes, the battery life is really a problem. Thanks for your advise. =D
