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.

but < 3 hrs (dunno about a backlight or not) just seems short to me.
Right !!!
My 3 years old laptop (Samsung SP35) was 5 hours and is still now 3 hours, and it's beginning to be a problem. Less than 3 hours is too short, specially for an ultra mobile device !
Come one ! 8" screen, 900Mhz Celeron and no HDD: how can it eat so much energy ?!?
