I have a similarly pleased experience with my Asus 1215N (1366×768 screen), which I got for around $300 new (good bargain). It has basically two drawbacks for me: battery life isn't amazing (roughly 4 hours of active use), and I'm sure a dedicated reader would be better for reading high-res PDFs. Oh well, I can write code in vim on my eeePC, and you can't say that about an iPad.
