New ASUS 1000 Netbook
Ordered Friday, arrived today. This is a cool little device - a mini laptop that runs linux with 40GB solid state drive, 1.6GHz Intel processor, 7-8 hour battery life, weighs about 2.5 pounds. I had it up and connected to the network in about 15 minutes. This will be great for students or anyone else needing a compact very portable general purpose computer. Also runs XP.

With XP I might spring for the extra GB of RAM, though you can always add it later.

I always wanted a device that I can travel with that has enough battery power to run a DVD for the boys while on a plane, but could also do wifi internet so I can check emails and sales of my site.

I just got that one a few weeks ago at one of those seedy looking electronic shops in Chicago for $250. It works great.

Does "solid state drive" mean that it starts up as soon as you turn it on? That would be very useful to me. I hate having to wait for mine to get started. Paper is still a lot more useful to me for that reason. My pen works as soon as I pull it out of my pocket and uncap it.

JD - seedy electronics shop ? does it have a name you could repeat here ? My interest is piqued.
Dee8Go - Solid state HD's should have faster seek times than normal spinney platter hard drives, but there is a still a number of processor tasks required to start up a computer, so while it might be faster, it won't be instant. This is why Windoze invested the "stand by" and "hibernate" functionality (if they work...) for laptops. -John

It was near or on Halsted St. in the Pilsen district. A friend of mine has a warehouse there and he had one and took me to the shop. I will shoot him an email and find out the name and address. I say seedy--it could be legit, but it is one of those places that has thousands of mobile phones, cameras, phone cards, cigarettes ect and the owners wore a lot of bling and didn't speak english. It is new in box and I registered it when I got on line.

It didn't "fall off the back of the truck" did it?

No, I don't mean it like that--it was some kind of asian high tech novelty shop. I think the first time I used it I logged on here.
