The Asus EeePC has been a hot topic since it's launch. Personally, I'm going to buy a later gen of the EeePC 900 with the specs:

* CPU : Intel Atom (diamondville) 45nm mobile CPU(~1.8 ghz).
* RAM : 1GB DDR2 SO-DIMM (maybe higher as option).
* Display upgraded to 8.9″ 1024?600 LCD with LED backlighting.
* HDD : 8GB (WinXP), 12GB / 20GB (Linux) SSD.
* WiMax & HSPDA support around Q3 2008 Smile
* Normal high capacity hard drives might be an option later.
* Available from May 2008 (estimated).
* Webcam: 1.3 MP resolution
* Priced at around $500 to $600.
* More color options, slightly bigger in size. Weight : ~1Kg.

So, what do you think of the laptop with a closed area of less than an 8.5x11 piece of paper, and will you purchase one?
