Competing with the Eee

G'day harpless - couple of points. Firstly, you'd be lucky to pick up the Eee right now for £219 - in fact, you'd be lucky to pick it up at all, thanks to Asus's supply problems. It can currently be found second-hand or on eBay, but the sellers are generally wise to the shortage and are mostly charging way more than it should cost.

Secondly, HP's machine can't be lumped in with those other cheap but fully-featured laptops - it's a heck of a lot smaller than they are, and the price for most subnotebook PCs is still pretty premium. Also, you really want Vista?
