Can you say webserver?  Laptop for a HS or college student?  Child’s first personal computer?  For $200, its a better deal then buying them a game system.  Better yet, there is a lot of free open source software.  If you look at the menus, they even come with OpenOffice which can read/write MS Office files up to 2003.

I think if these work out, they might actually give Linux and other Unix based OS’ a real foothold.
