Asus EEE PC

I'd been drooling over getting an EEE PC since I first heard about it in the summer, and finally got mine this week. I'm not sure if the 2GB model is being sold in the U.S., though... I got the 4GB model, which includes a Web cam (the 'Surf' models don't).

So far I'm loving it. It has a nice software package, is compact, and only weighs 2 pounds... perfect for carrying anywhere to do writing or blogging or Web surfing. The big boys charging $2000 for their 'slim and light' laptops may need to rethink their price points. Granted, the EE PC leaves out a lot for the price, but Asus has certainly put the lie to the concept that a very mobile laptop has to cost a lot.

EEE PC info

I got it from J&R, a music/computer store in NYC (via mail order). I've bought from them many times over the last 20 years, so I know they're reputable.

The 4GB model is $399; I haven't seen it discounted from that price anywhere.
