You missed my thread in Hot Deals about this?

It's a usable machine, just barely. Very portable, gets about 2 hours on a charge. Good for basic web browsing, although many sites will send you to their mobile versions, even though the browser (WinCE IE6) is capable of handling the normal sites.

It looks alright. Nothing I'm losing sleep over though.

I'll stick to my EEE900 that I just dusted off

Sounds like the hardware spec needs to get bumped just a little more. Maybe once GPU accelerated web browsing becomes more commonplace we will see better performance from less hardware?
