I have an ancient Atari Portfolio in daily use and because its the same form factor perhaps i can contribute my 2 eurocents:
As others already put it, the form factor is great for working on public transportation. No need to somehow wriggle out your laptop but simply slide this mini-laptop from your bag and start working.
A small keyboard is something one needs to get accustomed to, but after years now i can sincerely say that i type nearly as fast on the Portfolio as on a regular sized keyboard... and i would assume, that this new computer would have a much better keyboard than the old Portfolio.
Ok, now on the topic "what to do with this device": I mainly use the Portfolio for notes during meetings, hacking together a few figures in the spreadsheet app (something that is just plain uggly on an smartphone) and as a knowledge database for my daily work (e.g. MAC-adresses and so on).
One thing i have not found in any modern computer is the battery-liftime of the Folio: Nearly a month on three AAAs!
