Liliputing: Comprehensive list of low-cost ultraportables
Over the past six months or so, Asus, Everex, and HP have managed to bring low-cost ultraportable notebooks to market. But dozens of other computer makers have promised to bring out their own mini-notebooks. Some will run Linux, while others will be preloaded with Windows XP or Vista. Some will have flash memory, while others will have hard drives. But every one will be smaller, lighter, and cheaper than most existing laptop computers. Here's a roundup of some of the computers that have been announced or are already available.

So, if you're finished drooling over the pictures of the Macbook Air (seen here in comparison to four other laptops, which don't come off all that badly), you can start lusting after the Harlin eReader V9 (more specs here and here). Roughly the same size screen, 1/3 the weight, 1/2 the price, an eInk display, and Linux. They're different, of course; one's a stripped-down laptop, the other's a Kindle-killer.

But I already have a laptop. What I need is something to replace my bigger-than-laptop-sized songbook. I'll wait.
