You should accept the fact that people don't always upgrade their hardware to the latest model available. Some just keep it as long as it works. The average PC, the average laptop in use today might be faster than an internet tablet, but maybe not a lot faster.
So if you say that a 770/N800 is too slow for site A or application B, then the truth is that site A and application B, in fact, cannot be used by a large number of "normal" PC users, either. So blame the site and the application for being too heavy, not the device.
no offense to you good sir, but if those are the system specs you are quoting off to me, you shouldnt be buying internet tablets, as it seems your funds would be better spent on a decent desktop. a 1ghz desktop, case, hard drive, 512 memory would cost you under $100, let alone just picking up a used computer.

my $65 Compaq Armada M300 laptop (PIII 600mhz, 384 ram) can run circles around the n800. sorry, but your defensive position is incorrect.
