I would be willing to spend another $2-300 for a full day's worth of
battery life.
If cheap is the goal, $200 is fine. If mobile usefulness is the goal,
then the competition is, what? How much does one have to pay for a laptop
that can be used all day? I don't think the $500 machines can do it.

Even without turning off WiFi, you may find that the Foleo's 5 hours is enough to work all day - most people don't use a computer all day, as they also have meetings, phone calls, lunch, etc, so this could be fine for an 8 hour day. For a longer day, just turn off WiFi when not needed, and turn down screen brightness etc.
