did any one really think that asus stands a chance when they started raising the price? They might have gotten the ball rolling but it's about to crush them if they don't get their s*** together. And Dell is hardly their only problem. But a 12" screen sound really good. It makes for a small notebook that you can pretty much take anywhere, low price and well it's fast enough to be used as a note taking / movie watching / whatever gadget. Sure you won't be breaking speed records with this thing and it will feel slow compared to your workstation but it's ok for when you just have to change something in your source code or read that report that your boss gave you just before the party. 8 and 10" is just too small for excel among other things.
