Disappointing review

It's pretty much the same as every previous review, and those reviews were done at Computex. This guy has been sent a demo to play with, he could have written a much more comprehensive review.

One of the criticism of the eee pc has been the resolution of the 7inch model (800X480). Why not visit a couple of websites and describe how the pages are displayed, how easy it is to view websites for long periods on this display.

We know that the speakers take up a large part of the screen, EVERY review has said that and its plain to see. A better thing would be to tell us what the sound quality is like, surely? This isn't rocket science!

Boy, I'm soo annoyed by this screensize. They could easilly put in a 10.4" screen with 1024x768 resolution... bleh. I have a old Sony Vaio with that screensize and a P-III 800 mhz, so I know it's doable ;-)
