ASUS Eee PC 4G [Review[

,----[ Quote ]
| ...the Eee PC, a 2-pound ultraportable that's well worth its $400 price, even 
| though it has only 4GB of storage and a Linux operating system.

It can probably be thought of as KDE. Xandros is easily replaceable anyway. It
doesn't offer much unique stuff.

| In fact it's hard to name anything consumers will dislike. As much as the Eee

| deliver a full-blooded recommendation for all.

Asus Eee PC 701 Review - Ultramobile Notebook with Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| The Asus Eee PC 701 is a unique notebook solution that I think will be more 
| successful in the US than many people are giving it credit for.  Even though 
| it might not be completely embraced here as it was in Taiwan, the features of 
| it make it stand out as a great mobile computing solution.  The combination 
| of incredibly fast boot times, low weight and size and even a small price at 
| just $300-400 will bring more attention to this Asus notebook than any 
| previous one.  For people on the go that need a simple computing solution, 
| the Asus Eee PC 701 might be the perfect fit.

| As for that other famous low-cost notebook: The $188 OLPC XO laptop is a far 
| more ambitious product in that its purpose is to educate children in 
| developing nations. But that doesn't mean the Eee PC isn't a breakthrough in 
| its own right. It brings affordable computing to everyone else, and without a 
| learning curve.

New ASUS Eee PC gets positive feedback

,----[ Quote ]
| Described by ASUSTek Computer Inc. as "revolutionary," the new Eee PC is 
| supposed to "provide users with a new mobile Internet experience like never 
| before," but can the diminutive 7-inch laptop live up to the hype laid down 
| by its manufacturer? From all accounts, the answer to that question would be 
| yes.

| package for portable Web surfing and basic productivity, as long as you keep 
| expectations tempered. The incredibly approachable price outweighs any 
| shortcomings; it's a near perfect choice for a highly portable second or 
| backup laptop.

| the open source software projects working on versions of their software
