A review of the Asus EeePC. It concludes: "The Eee PC may be targeted at children and students, but it should also entice anyone needing a compact, low cost, yet fully functional PC. It is featherweight, far easier to use than a Windows machine, starts up three times faster, and costs about a quarter of anything in its weight class."

err, may i ask what your going to use it for that needs that amount of storage? unless we are talking audiovisual media i dont see how one gig to or from will be a issue...
There's a big difference between 2 gigs free and 1 gig free. Also the more apps you add or update on the stock EeePC, the less space you have for data. That 1.4 gbs would fill up pretty damn quick.

And why wouldn't we be talking audiovisual media? A few films for those flights or train rides seems to be a very common use of laptops. Other uses would include additional software. If I had one of these I'd love to get mathematica and matlab if I could onto it. They're pretty big programs. Other people in other fields probably have their own software they'd like to add.

sounds like people are expecting more from the device then is evidence for.
if one want storage, go for the 8GB or grab a extra card.
i would not call playing a full length movie on this one excepted use out of the box.
its more of a web device then a full on laptop given the specs.
