Viewing Websites, since the screen is limited to a maximum of 800px in width and majority the of websites are designed for resolutions higher than 800px, websites wont look good in that compact space, regardless of whether they are standards complaint and have variable page width.
Trust me a dual core, 120GB HDD, a whole 1Gb of RAM, extra 5 inches, optical drive, network adapter, and VGA port are worth an extra few hundred! Even if it is at the cost of an extra 1KG, which is hardly a load of weight.
But i guess those with low cash flow would find it an attractive deal, like students etc.
