Btw, I'm writing this on an Asus Eee 901 with an SSD disk, Atom, and a 6- cell battery. I was a bit skeptical at first - the keyboard is a bit small, some of the special keys are moved around a little. But the touch- pad is excellent (multi- touch for zooming and scrolling, and so on - really slick).. The battery life is useful - we're talking some four hours with regular net- surfing on wifi on an average connection coverage... and easily six hours of just typing... not as much as "up to eight hours", of course... but this is actually extremely good.

And Asus included a lot of neat functions for power- saving, enable/disable wifi, camera, bluetooth, automatic downclocking when the power- adapter is pulled out, etc. There are shortcut keys for switching off the screen, and switching resolutions. It's got three usb plugs, and a vga out.

On top of that, Asus has put in a choice of Office- programs - either Staroffice (OpenOffice for Windows) or Works, as well as some dvd and video programs on the pre- install. You can choose between a preinstalled Windows XP home edition, or a Xandros linux- build, and they're about identical, function- wise. After that, it's your choice, obviously.

So, the processor isn't much to brag about in terms of processing power. Even if it's perfectly fine for compiling and running java, and things of that sort, or for writin code, which is what I'm doing. There's no 3d card, which might put some off. No pixel- shaders, and the direct3d support is through software. Runs "Tetris Worlds" and Fallout just fine, though..

But this will be the best you can do on small laptops in a while - a slim x86 setup with power- saving functions. Being able to use the regular and well- developed OS stack, but without draining the battery too quickly.

And it's cheap. Buy one of these, and an external hard- drive and a dvd- drive, and you're still not halfway to the price of a cheap laptop.

It's also light (1kg), has a high quality lcd screen (works brilliantly outside), and it's suprisingly sturdy. It's about the same size as a slim book, so it fits in a bag or a small backpack. Comes in several colours as well now. Thoroughly recommended. But buy the SSD(Solid State Drive - a programmable ram- chip with persistent storage instead of a harddrive) setups, imo. Less moveable parts that could break, and so on. And it will use less power.
