Thanks for the quick feedback.

By "a lot of things" I think you captured what I was getting at. I could buy a single purpose device for many of the features in the n810, which individually would outperform the n810. So I am willing to trade "excellence" for flexibility.

As a reference point for my own performance standards, I still use a PIII 400Mhz machine on a regular basis. While not nearly as fast as my dual core laptop, I don;t complain.
