I think it would be much better for my marriage if I could handle the "work emergencies" from the same room as my wife.

I use my CR-48 as my normal portable laptop. I can code with web based IDEs, SSH into my boxes if needed and it has ~8 hours of battery life. I absolutely love the device, I just think any price over $299 is barking at the moon.
