The mini-laptops of summer

,----[ Quote ]
| Meanwhile, the Acer Aspire One crams a lot into a very slim, very appealing
| package. It's smaller than the Wind (at 9.8 by 6.7 by 1.14 inches) and yet it
| finds room to house the same Intel Atom processor and a reasonably large
| 8.9-inch display (with a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels).
|
| The preview model that we looked at felt well polished. The Aspire One's
| plastic superstructure seemed a bit less rugged than the MSI Wind's, but this
| mini-laptop has a great keyboard.
|
| The model we looked at is priced at $400; it comes with Linux preinstalled
| and packs an 8GB NAND flash drive...

Review of the EEE-PC 701 (long overdue)

,----[ Quote ]
| I've been intending to write a review of the EEE-PC for quite some time,
| considering I was one of the early adopters makes my hesitancy all the more
| curious. I was impressed at the prospect of Asus' small form, low budget,
| Linux based notebook.
