This fall I am going to India for 3 weeks. It is looking less and less likely that my magnum opus "Making Out With You Killed My Dog" (not actual title) (current status: 22k words) is going to be finished by then, which means that I will need some way to work on it while I am traveling

The XO-1's keyboard was so small and shitty that I literally could not use it.

But since that's not one of the options you list, I don't have anything to add.

Yeah, I thought that one was just supposed to be a toy for kids.

Eee PC 901. Good battery. Available.

I'm looking at this.

I don't know that I have enough faith in people to carry a $1700 computer all throughout the third world.

I've got an Eee PC 700 (4gb drive, 512mb memory), and I like it pretty well. The keyboard isn't too small once you get used to it, the battery is pretty good, and it's super-light.
