>Using an old laptop with a old and depleted or soon to be depleted (especially when charged 100% constantly) wouldn't make me feel that comfortable >and this assuming that is is sensible to use the power brick 24/7. Which I wouldn't assume. True. I'd be hesitant to let this little Asus run 24/7 like this (it was intended as an information appliance/HTPC akin to the ones in the article anyway, not an always-on home server). Regardless of the above I've got to note that it need not be an old laptop. I bought my 1001PX near new off an online auction. Its owner had only used it for a couple of months before breaking the screen. This isn't a singular case, either, and I have since seen similar units for sale (though I wouldn't advocate buying them in bulk). >the coming i5 version also has hardware support for VNC Now that's pretty cool! For all the potential security risks I'd like to see this feature catch on.
