A bit more info on my T100 since I didn't include it in the initial post. Generally I'm pretty happy with it. The screen is pretty good, although there are a couple of spots of back-light leakage along the top. I've setup 5 more for clients, and mine is the worst, so I think I just got unlucky. Battery life is pretty good at 6 hours or so, although I crank the brightness all the way up which limits it a bit, it is dim when operating on battery by default. I think most people get more life, but my use is for short periods, so I'm not going to strain my eyes for no reason.

My cons are the screen angle. The hinge just doesn't go back far enough to use it comfortably (for long periods of time anyway) when sitting. I find myself hunching over the thing a little. The 2nd is the touchpad, it falls asleep so it's a bit slow on the first touch, and maybe just my use, but when I go to left click something about 6/10 times it moves the mouse to the bottom left corner and clicks the start button instead of what i was wanting to click on. Might need to tweak settings a bit to combat that.

All in all, I'm happy with it, it fits my need, which is a small yet reasonably powerful machine to travel with or run into a client office to do a little work. I wouldn't want it as a full time machine, I have a regular laptop for that, but for its purpose it's fine.
