The EeePC is the worst shit I've ever laid eyes on. I had the (mis)fortune of using one in the holidays. They keyboard is too small, the trackpad is about the size of a postage stamp and the screen is incapable of word processing. Its only use is probably Skype, a portable web browser (used lightly here since an iPhone would be better, in all ways conceivable), or a portable multimedia device (which the iPhone would make redundant, once again). It's not really a computer because you can't really exploit the power of Linux using its pre-installed client, and using Windows on the computer brings it down to the knees and the screen lets it down anyway. I view it more as a toy (albeit a very expensive toy which I would be frustrated at) with limited use. Get a Macbook!

Yeah eees are shit. I don't know why anyone would want one - how the fuck can its small size possibly attract you?

I also agree with the mac-hate. Fucking rip off. I could get 2 laptops with the price of a macbook pro. Good laptops, mind you, 2GB RAM, 2gigahertz, you know.

I am going to get an Eee when I get paid at the end of the month. I am looking forward to it liek WHUT.

Tip for JB or any shop that negotiates. If you are a guy, get a hot girl you know to flirt with the male sales assistants and they will probably give you cost price. I had a mate who worked at Digital City and he used to do this for hot girls all the time. If you are a hot girl, then you probably aready know this haha.

Congratulations, you just missed the point. Now go off yourself.

Its small and portable and does what I need it to without complicating things?

MSY has the Linux versions for $399 though it may be better to the get 20GB, 8.9" LCD version which just came out. I think these are about $580ish at ITEstate.
