I just picked up an 11", but went for the bigger drive. Dimension wise, it's only slightly bigger than an ipad, and weighs just over 2 lbs. The thing is, it's over 100 times more functional than an ipad. Can run flash, forward camera, full size keyboard, everything that's been mentioned that the ipad lacks. With the exception of the optical drive, of course. Also, the 11" lacks the card reader that the 13" has.
According to the TSA, it doesn't have to come out of the bag at security also, which is nice. Of course, that doesn't preclude the local TSA idiot from deviating from they're own policies and making people take EVERYTHING out of their bags. But so far, in a month, I have yet to take it out.
