While I would never seriously consider buying a pre-built PC, I followed my curiosity and went to dell's site to see what one of these little guys would cost after adding just a few essential options(excluding all services and extended warranties, etc).

Well, it ended quite badly, the price rose to 1.2k USD, just $300 away from the price it would cost me to build a desktop that could potentially be 5-6x as powerful and would include a gaming mouse/keyboard, 24inch MVA lcd panel, and a bag of chips.

So for the price of a mid-range laptop, you get low-mid-range mobile components without the mobility part. I think the average Joe might like these little guys, everyone else should just watch from a safe distance.
