The Eee PC runs off a linux operation system and is mostly for really basic computing. This would be great for a college student that needs a laptop to take notes in class. This laptop is not a powerhouse by all means, I think the thing is powered by intel's atom processors which aren't fast but they are small. They also have solid state drives which i think will be the furture and get rid of mechanical drives. They are cool, i just pick one up. And that price is the best that i have ever seen for those.

Every few years "The people's PC" shows up, so I guess this is ASUS' try at the market.

A coworker has one, nice simple machine for connectivity on the go but if you're going to do some serious work that keyboard is painful to type on.

Relax Matt (cough....German), I haven't forgotten about you. We have gone through some BIG life changing experiences this year, some have been elected and some bad and thus we're in the process of rebuilding our lives.
