It was bound to happen. The computer has become a commodity item and the
laptop is following. With computer power exceeding the needs of the
average user (My 3 GHz P4 usually stays scaled down to 1.5GHz). And linux
is a great OS to use on these platforms as they can keep the costs down
while delivering a functional and secure system.
There's another reason to use these lower powered system: they're greener.
The Asus Eee PC uses something on the order of 12W under normal load.
