Story: HP unveils aluminium-clad Eee rival
Not cheap but its Linux!
I guess that HP is being careful not to introduce a product that might compete and undecut its mainstram products. Still the HP name will convnice some people to part with their cash despite the cost difference.
The really intersesting thing here is this is a desktop where the default option is Linux - the long-awaited rise of the Linux desktop seems to actually have arrived but in a way that not many people predicted. It didn't come from companies announcing whole sale migrations but rather from this kind of low-end hardware erroding the Microsoft's hold on the market in a kind of death from a thousand cuts.
