Asus has formally rolled out its Eee PC line of sub-notebook computers, a week after UK supplier RM - formerly Research Machines - spilled the beans on two of the models. The complete line-up comprises four computers. All four models are based around the same 7in display; 900MHz Intel Celeron processor and chipset; 10/100Mbps Ethernet port and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi for internet access; HD audio; three USB ports; SD card slot; stereo speakers and microphone input; and a version of the Linux open source operating system, Xandros. My take: I want one. It has everything I need: small size, Linux, wireless, and email client/browser/IM. I don't need more from a laptop.

Am I mistaken? It just seems like they have a short battery life given it's all solid state and the small size of the screen. Granted, it's got a small battery as well, but < 3 hrs (dunno about a backlight or not) just seems short to me.
But otherwise, yea, I think this is a nice machine. Be nice to see how much they finally go for here in the US.
