Which device spec do you prefer: price, small size, storage capacity or other?

With the trend of notebooks getting smaller and lighter, I figure now is a good time to ask this question. The Asus Eee PC clearly started a trend towards both a low price and a small size; the compromise was in terms of performance. Not that the performance is bad, but relatively speaking, it is lower than higher-priced notebooks. Now I see that Acer is planning a low-cost 12.1-inch device that will top out around $450. That unit is expected to complement their 8.9-inch device which should start around $300.While most mobile users want it all (great performance, tons of storage, portability, connectivity and, oh yes, a low, low price), I’m not sure we’re there just yet. So my question to you as we continue down this trend of smaller, lighter and cheaper is: what do you value most in a device like this? Put another way: if you have to compromise on price, storage capacity, performance, or size / weight, which would you choose? Just curious…. I realize that everyone’s needs and requirements are different of course.
