Very true - the Linux pricing has changed...

... but, and it's a big "but", the 40GB drive is solid-state - a pretty big SSD for the current market too, certainly at the price.

That said, I'm having trouble figuring out why Asus has chosen to go the 10"-screen-chassis route. Well, I can see the market - those who want a bigger keyboard - but HP and Acer do a fairly good job of the keyboard on their 8.9" models.

We saw and held one. Basically, we in the ZDNet office are struggling not to go "meh" at the Eee 1000 (and, I guess, the 904). It's noticably heavier than, say, the 901. It's really pushing the border between "netbook" and "notebook". Not so cool anymore.
