Yup, that's pretty much it. It's not a bad fit for my wife, because she's got a quad-core pro setup at work that runs all her design apps, video editing, and business database. For her, the laptop is entirely a secondary computer, something she can have at home and log into things at work if she needs to, surf, respond to emails, and take it to meetings, or use it to upload unedited photos and video when she's traveling.
