EeePC - Will you purchase the EeePC 900?

-----------------------------------

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 :-)
    * 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?
