@amoschrls@... I've got a "Fizzbook Spin" (Classmate) with a similar handle. Works for me, but I'm 44. Not so good if a young owner likes to swing it around. A well padded soft case doubling as mat would be nice. I carry mine in a "courier bag" - no, I'll be honest, a handbag with shoulder strap.
Otherwise... probably you don't need Win 7 Pro for a school-use computer. If you have to have it for the network at home, you're nuts. You also can choose SuSE Linux (SLED 11) or Win XP Home, but I assume (really) that Windows 7 Starter comes with speech recognition, which I hope more people will be using by the time you buy your next computer -after- this.
However, the processor probably isn't wonderful for that, and you probably want more RAM, too, either for speech or for Win 7 - you can put it up from 1 to 2 GB, then you have a spare 1 GB card - what do you do with those, recycle?
