Bought an Asus and ended up using it as a portable note taking device. I too was using Vim to edit programs - and that worked well. As for Java development compiling was excruitiatingly slow and Java apps were very slow to load. Having big fingers I never really adopted to the keyboard. For note taking, I ended up using only one hand to type across the whole keyboard. Looks strange but rather quick.
Have since upgraded to a MacBookPro with 4G RAM - much nicer experience.
I was doing terminal based development on vim over the network....the small keyboard, unusably small modifier keys, and unconventional keyboard layouts made it just plain painful.
