HP could take small affordable Laptops to the next level

I agree with david.

HP doing this being the size they are and with the respect that they have will really make these devices future alot more sound. Obviously people want small laptops like the Eee so it inevitable but the HP laptop will bring a whole new level of build quality that hopefully others will follow.

Also the entry level with Linux will be for the right reasons, HP are such a company that they dont need to offer linux, they can just charge you the extra for a windows liscence and people will buy regardless. Not like Dell who introduced Linux as a way simply to increase profit.

Harpless sometimes i think you should follow the words of Homer, thats Simpson not the Philiosipher. "Never say anything unless your sure everyone else thinks the same" (or near enough)

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
