I love the OLPC/XO-1 display and the fact that it does not have moving parts like a fan (= total silence). RAM, CPU, flash size are all no big issues to me, as I prefer small quick apps anyway and for storage I can attach an external HD over USB with (virtually) arbitrary capacity. I really hope Jepsen can help a general-market product similar to XO-1 to come out soon, as I'm advocating it mouth-to-mouth heavily by just ... using it (for real study work btw).

My next (expected) purchase is a FreeRunner. I recently started buying exclusively free software-drivable hardware and so far enjoyed the time saved ;) . Next stop: only installing bug-free software (heh) to make computing fully non-frustrating.
