Asus Eee PC Laptop

The new solid state Asus Laptop looks perfect for DSL. It is $300 for a 4 mb and $400 for an 8 mb model. It is very small and portable.

It comes pre-loaded with Xandros. It would be incredible with DSL.

Has anyone seen one of these in person?

I am thinking about buying one. Someone tested it and compared its performance with IBM ThinkPad X31(http://yurinfore.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2007-01-01T00%3A00%3A00%2B08%3A00&updated-max=2008-01-01T00%3A00%3A00%2B08%3A00&max-results=50). Although the EeePC is a little bit slower than IBM ThinkPad X31 in terms of memory and hard drive speed. It is really comparable.

Here is a link at Newegg:

More advanced versions are planned with greater memory and larger screen.

I wonder how reliable the flash memory hard drive is and how long its life expectancy?

I finally saw one. I plugged in my DSL pendrive into one of its USB2.0 ports. During boot, press Esc. You get a boot menu. The USB-HDD DSL 4.1 pendrive was displayed. It booted into DSL and recognized its built-in wired ethernet. I couldn't do much more. Dang sales people don't like it when you do this sort of thing. At least I can say I saw it boot DSL. Oh, the screen filled full size but its non-standard resolution produced slightly squashed letters.

There is a guy in the Sidux community that has one and is running Sidux on USB stick. He says it's great.
