I am just about obsessed with this little thingie. Subnotebooks are definitely the wave of the future, and Asus leads the field now because of two factors: price and size. This little baby is only 9" from side to side, with a 7" screen. It weighs two pounds. Its about the size of a hardback book. Stats: 900 Mhz Celeron, with 512 MB RAM, built in WLAN, and 2 to 4GB Solid state drive. The solid state drive is much less fragile than hard disk, and it boots up like instantaneously. Full size (if cramped) QWERTY keyboard makes data entry substantially easier than a Blackberry keypad. Perfect compromise between a PDA (too small) and a laptop (too big). At only $400 for the 4GB, its a steal.
I seriously need one of these dudes, but I may hold out for the 8GB model for later this year.
