i just bought the toshiba portege – it’s an ultra portable that weighout s less than 2 pounds. although the keyboard layout is a bit annoying, the lightening fast HD makes this a perfect on-road companion.. including for bloggers on the go

gone are the days of carrying around a massive laptop. between my ultraportable and my mobile devices, i’m truly mobile & can work anywhere

Neat idea, but yeah the market is somewhat limited. You’d need a huge percentage of the bloggers to make a hardware device feasible.

Actually, how about if you find common netbook hardware and do a custom distribution pre-loaded with a toolset. You could do customized distributions for bloggers, travellers, photographers, grandmothers (find a better name), etc.

Someone run with this!

I just bought an AspireOne on the weekend and love it so far. I got a Linux based one because I just couldn’t see myself needing Windows XP on this thing.

I could totally see custom distros being used as a selling feature. A blog book would be a great idea.
