With all those acessories, its quite alot of stuff youd be carrying. I think the main problem with this whole UMPC thing is that they havnt adressed the issue.
They probably realised that alot of people have laptops, but few people take them out places. So they thought "Ah - smaller is what we need".
It s not SIZE that was the problem - its durability! My laptop (samsung xo5) is plenty small enought to take anywhere, and can fit into my shoulder bag that I always carry.
But the reason I dont take it is cos its so flimsy! The damn thing got a whole host of problems from just transporting it away for a weekend (a big crack materialised in the casing as well).
What we need is a small laptop like the ones we have now, but make it shockproof, waterproof, scratch resistant - properly ready for outdoors treatment.
