You'll need BTO Bluetooth and at least 512 MByte more memory which will set
you back a bit more -- but it's still cheaper than a Pentium M box.
Also, 12" is a bit small, and the display quality frankly sucks -- but
otherwise it's a great machine.

If you have a kid or a student, this is the right machine to buy as a present
(but notice the extra memory + Bluetooth build-to-order options).

For an adult I'd go with a 14" iBook, or a PowerBook.
