I really want one. I might ask for one next year for Christmas. They're really cool, and I'm starting to love Linux, especially if it can run Ubuntu (which it can, hopefully not too slowly).

eee xubuntu or something for the eee pc.

I bought one and it arrived December 22nd 2007 which worked out nice because that was my Birthday too! I got rid of Linux, of course. With Linux its uses are limited. I stuck XP on it and bought a big SDHC memory card to make up for the 4gig hard disk. I stuck Visual Basics, Office 2007, Firefox and Grand Theft Auto on it and I just use it when I'm out and about. I can use my Razr phone as a modem to get on the internet with it too. Since I got it my PDA has been collecting dust .

It does run CSS, but it's very complicated to set up.



They said they are never going to make the screen bigger, but always try and update it. The keyboard isn't very small, and wireless works fine in my school and at home.

It's really good value for money, and quite practical. I took a picture a few weeks back; it's smaller then a Coke bottle, lol.

There's a 900 model being made now with a 9" screen, http://eeeuser.com has detailed information. It's going to be around $700 USD I believe.

I agree as far as the white model goes, however I love the black model, it looks like my dell only on a much smaller scale .

You can use 800x600 in scrolling mode and 800x600 and 1024x768 if you download the drives one of the forum members at http://eeeuser.com has created. You can also buy a touch screen for around $80 and install that on the device too.

Do you wish your Eee PC had a larger screen? Higher resolution? More RAM? More storage space?

ASUS has your solution with the next generation Eee PC 900 series. It will feature a 8.9″ screen, running at 1024 x 600 resolution. You’ll be able to store 12GB of data, and will have 1GB of ram to access in a package a bit larger than the Eee PC 701. The cost? $600. Look for it in select countries later this summer.

What's the point in this one? Better Laptop's are cheaper then it.

The size of the laptop is still smaller than a laptop. Small sub notebook or UMPC range .
