At home(where power consumption does not matter) I will use it for home Theatre and games. Travel I need it for web access etc. but I wish it could be a tablet with multi touch and between 10-12" screen. (like the Acer 1820P) I agree with Naca.

I can hard wire the network (or wireless) and use Bluetooth keyboard and Mouse from the couch. I'll be running on mains power so battery life isn't important. For use as a true Netbook whilst travelling though, the battery power becomes very important, and graphical power is a very low priority. With a high powered graphics Dock... I get the best of boths worlds, no? Not to mention the addition of extra ports (for portable HDDs) and DVD-ROM etc. I think there's a market for this approach. I'm a potential customer! Battery life and price will be interesting though. If it is too expensive, I'll just get an ION like everyone else ;) When I purchase my first Netbook (and first laptop) I’ll be using it for two core duties.
