My brother just called me and he told me his first impression with Asus Eee. It seems Eee is not bad with Linux or Windows XP. In the end he did not buy it due to the long queue and the fact that it is still relatively hot with Celeron M CPU. http://www.hardwarezone.com/news/view.php?id=9372&cid=9 http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=635 http://forums.vr-zone.com/forumdisplay.php?f=210 I think it is a nice concept but I will buy a full-blown notebook with Vista to replace the aging Dell 600M.
