For the time being, my 1st gen Eee will last me till early next year at least - by then there will probably be even more options available on the market.
A nice laptop indeed (from the review). I shall keep an eye on it.

669370 2008-06-06 09:24:00 OK, I got over the 'EEE' thing, am now going to get a 'normal' bulky old laptop thing :( From the way prices are going (up) for the EEE's, they have lost their attractiveness to me. I could ofcourse always get the old 701, but for a little extra money (and 4~5 times more weight) I'll go for the more 'practical over long-term' option. Sad really, because I so wanted to be a special EEE Guy, an exclusive Wielder of the EEE (WEEE). :crying Deathwish (143)
669371 2008-06-09 11:38:00 I was wondering the same, with DSE offering semi-decent Acer laptops for around $6-800... however, being a Uni student and lugging the EeePC around all day, and I mean *all* day at Uni or to / from clients places outside of Uni hours, Im stoaked as!

Tried bringing in a regular Asus laptop for a Uni assignment for just one day.. I was so darn tired after just 10 minutes of having it in my bag, it wasnt even funny :( Amazing how much of a difference 2-3 kilos in the bag can make :p

Plus, 3.5hrs battery life = 2x lectures at Uni
This regular laptop lasted 90 mins = 1x lecture at Uni

Keep that in mind when buying.. ;)
