There aren't really that many drawbacks.

The primary issue may be one of screen size. The screen resolution is 1024
by 768. Its enough space for web work (provided you don't use GoLive which
has palettes that spawn like rabbits) - but if you are use to a bigger
screen, this will probably be your first complaint.

Other than that - its a great little workstation. We have 5 or 6 in the
office. DVD playback is nice :).

(I use to use a iMac as my primary machine, now I have a powerbook ...)
