I don't think Sophie will be taking it out of the house other than to go
to relatives with it. I quite like the fact that it has a wall wart
(although I despise wall warts) rather than a brick as a PSU. Should
make less for someone to carry around.
I ordered mine from RM where they carry a warning:-
"The RM Asus miniBook is available to purchase from RM for use by anyone
in the UK in full-time or part-time education. Parents purchasing on
behalf of their children are able to do so providing their children are
in full or part-time education."
They also added this warning:-
"The RM Asus miniBook is a massively popular product and we are working
hard to try and keep up with demand. We've reflected the 'Available
from' dates as our best estimate of when we'll receive more stock. We'll
keep updating this page when we have further information. You can still
order the product today and we'll hurry it out to you as soon as we
receive more miniBooks."
Note the extensive positively glowing reviews (from adults of course):-
