I have the Nokia Booklet 3G.

It's one of the thinnest Netbook available. And even after years there is no Netbook which comes close regarding built quality.

Too heavy?
No, not really. It's not plastic. It's Aluminum made from one piece.

Too weak?
Yes, with Windows. I'm running Ubuntu on it and I've built in a SSD. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zzC_R2RXoo)

Too unreal?
Errrm... What do you mean? With MeeGo? Yes. With everythin else? Why unreal?


I wouldn't install MeeGo on it, though, because MeeGo is optimized for a small display resolution. The Nokia Booklet 3G has a resolution of 1280x720. Makes no sense with MeeGo.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (or at the moment I'm running Elementary OS) with all the Compiz effects. No problem.

Edit: the best thing about the Booklet is the full-size HDMI and the looooong battery life. About 8 to 12 hours. Also it doesn't have a single fan. So if you have a SSD there is not a single bit of noise. I love it!
