When Asus released its Eee PC, praise was almost universal. People loved the device's size, low price, and the fact it came with Linux appealed to many geeks. Consequently, the device sold rather well, and was a hit for Asus. However, the device had two major shortcomings: its small screen (7" 800x480), and its relatively short battery life. Asus took the critcism to heart, and came up with the Asus Eee PC 900, which has a 9" 1024x600 screen. So, what's the verdict?

For the forseeable future, you'd probably be best off to pick up a refurb. x31 or x40. "
IBM Japan had a cult hit in the 90's with the palmtop-sized PC110 with DOS/V, Micro PM GUI, and WebBoy browser. Hobbyists have installed all sorts of OS'es on it from Windows 3.1 and OS/2 to NT 4.0 and Linux and even PC/Geos. If Lenovo does a successor it just might have a bigger hit this time around.
