Susanne Choney at MSNC wrote a piece about how in the US the ultraportables are fast becoming a favorite as an individual’s secondary computer. Here is the article and the link:

The market for skinny laptops gets fat: In United States, ultramobile PCs find favor as a secondary computer

And I guess this is as it should be. However, with all these rush to be the next Asus Eee 701 there will be casualties. Who will win and who will eat dust. We will know in the months to come.

However, This is just not one war. The appeal of ultraportables cover two fronts the first one the ultrapractical-and-ultraeconomic-ultraportable and the second one the ultraposh-ultraexpensive-ultraportable.

Who will it be? Who do you think?

The monkey wrench in this equation seems to be the economy and it is the proverbial spanner that will muck up the best designed and posh ultraportable.

It is the price.

Another question though that needs to be asked. Will the ultraportable ever become the 1st computer?
