The new 8.9" screen model has just come to the market.  They look very
nice but do cost a little more.  Beware that I've seen a report that
states that, with the out of the box Linux, they can be easily
compromised.  There are now Linux distributions that can be installed on
these laptops and be fully functional and more secure.
