Choosing the right Eee PC
It all started with the original Eee PC 701, which brought laptop prices kicking and screaming to uncomfortable levels. However, once it was there, future models have had a much easier time adapting. Though hardly performance powerhouses, Eee PCs continue to strut with heads held high as being the cheapest (though still dignified) full-computing devices in the market.
Getting a better picture now? Good, because here comes the difficult part. Merely getting the most expensive configuration doesn't necessarily mean it will suit your needs to a T. If that was the case, then budget units would have gone belly up eons ago. Instead, let's take a look at highlights of these models and see who each one is suitable for. |

let me get this right, Asus should be pricing these as(at least for the Linux versions:
701-4GB=needs to drop below US$200 as SSDs become cheaper
900-20GB<US$300 (904 model at just >US$300)
901-20GB<US$400
1000-SSD<US$499
(pleeease, stick to the sub US$500 price!)
: you all be the judge, else Dell could hit it hard when their Es come out soon

a dual-core atom is on the way, and SSD will become cheaper along the way...so expect more price cut for these earlier models while, these netbook would come with touchscreen functionality (even tablet form factor), higher SSD capacities, more connectivity i.e. 3G, wimax & of course improved UI
