Dell has finally released a few glimpses on their upcoming Eee 900 competitor, called the Dell E (name subject to change). The Dell E sports an 8.9 inch display with three variations of configurations: Dell E, E Video, and E Video+, with one increasing the specifications respectively. Dell is also launching a second MID, the Dell E Slim, with a larger 12.1 inch display and two configurations: E Slim, and E Slim+. Both devices will run Linux and Windows XP.

Dunno why anyone modded you down on this. I still have an old school original Game Boy that works almost good as new, just had to clean the battery contacts (green battery? gunk). Even have a third-party AC adapter for it, though it does use a standard portable device DC input socket. Only problem is that the battery lid latch broke off, but a bit of scotch tape keeps it in place.
These days, though, I doubt anyone makes cheap electronic hardware that lasts. Planned obsolescence and whatnot.

If I buy one of those machines I don't care much about specs or looks, but I want it to do as well as my old Game Boy, 16 years and still going. If it is as fragile or more fragile than normal laptops I won't bother.
Portable devices must be mistreatable or not be.
