I'm using their 10" PC1000 right now. Its great for general purpose use. If you get tired of the smaller format, you can plug in a spare keyboard, mouse, and monitor when you're at home.

The downside is theres no optical drive, and the smallish Atom processor gets overworked sometimes.

Ubuntu downloads and installs via a USB thumb drive. Being Linux though, it requires (at least for me) some dinking around with config files to get it working right.

For somebody who wants a turnkey system, I'd say wait for Windows 7.
