I don't think it will take off like other systems. But honestly I might get one for my fiance so she can use it...

Judging by the previous commentary on this thread, you may be wrong in the first sentence and it may be because of the idea in your second. A lot of people are looking at this machine thinking "You know, for this price, it might be useful for $(TASK)..." And so you end up with your fiancee--who from context isn't a hardcore geek, sorry if I'm wrong--some grandkids, some parents, all using this thing.

Everyone out there has at least one 'little thing' that their computer is for. Writing their novel. Checking their email. Carrying around videos. If everyone--including 'normal people'--sees this machine as a cheap opportunity to have a tiny little portable computer to do their one thing easily, it will take off.
