I thought I read somewhere during my reasearch on the eee that Asus had 
decided
not to do another model with a bigger screen, but I'll have to double check
that.

For me, the biggest motivation for getting one, is it's size.  For the 
price not
much out there beats it.  I've seen a Vaio that is extremely tiny and a lot
smaller than the eee, but it costs almost US$2,000!  Plus, as already 
mentioned
in another post, this has got room inside it for you to add some upgrades, and
you could not do that with the Vaio.

But size and performance for the price is the biggest reason for me.
