I agree. And the worst part of the whole thing is that for maybe $100 more, you get a full and more powerful laptop. But, even if you want to keep the specs low, they should at least cover the entire screen with a decent resolution. Those two black verticals on both sides makes it look like a V-tech toy.
This is a Tablet PC, and for that I'd rather have 10-12 inches on display. 13-14 could be a little unwieldy when handheld. I'd still say 7" is a bit small, though. There are already plenty of budget 15" laptops on the market, it's the reduced size at the price that is behind the current interest.

I wish manufacturers would focus on light, low cost 13in or 14in laptops, not these 7in wannabes.
