I have a couple of friends who own them and are very happy. For older people who really just need an 'internet machine', they are ideal.
I am tempted to buy one for myself, I am tempted by a laptop which is cheap, light, and has amazing battery life. My standard laptop is the T420s, which is a great machine but is very heavy and only gets about 90 minutes battery life. I get tired of carrying it around.
On the other hand, I wouldn't want to type more than a sentence or so on a tablet or phone.
