the eee pc is only 300 bucks at most online stores, its very small 7 inches, and has a 2gb ( or 4) ssd so no moving parts and 3 hours battery life.... will pc's get any smaller than this without turning in to a phone? lol

I like I like, me thinks he might buy... :)

Prices On Froogle (http://www.google.com/products?q=eee+pc&btnG=Search+Products)

It uses Linux, or Windows, LOL... I wonder which Linux distro...

It's very cute... We sold this PC for a few weeks now... ;)
WiFi is very strong, linux looks very good and easy to use...
Perfect present for a teenager. ;)

Actually I'm going to hold out until the 9" screen one hits the USA...

What Linux distro is this using?

Distrowatch has the Specs on the EEE version:

Personally I'd rather have XP installed...

I'm a Linux geek, but I don't use it anymore, and when I play with it, I just run it under Vmware Workstation.

Eee is suppose to also come with XP Home.

you could always install your own os off a usb thumbdrive, that would have to be an option with these types of machines. me myself though, am sticking with my dv9650us w/ vista x64 :D

The dv9650us is a regular laptop, the eee isn't, you can't compare the two, hehe...

My friend just bought an EEE. It's a very good and handy laptop. I recommend it if you're on budget and want only the basic function of a laptop.
