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.

It's a great piece of hardware, but I wish the screen was larger. The screen now has a huge plastic border, a 10" screen wouldn't even make it larger or anything... With a larger screen, I wouldn't know a reason not to buy it. I mean, it's the perfect laptop - you can actually carry it around, unlike most others.
