By way of review: It looks like the little HP x Ubuntu will work fine as a document reader (HTML and PDF) at hotspots (my intended function). I just read some ESRI documentation at Starbucks. Unfortunately it won't wake after being suspended (like when you open the lid). A quick Google search indicates that Canonical is having problems with this bug. Some OEMs are upset, so I expect it to be fixed soon.
