Give me a display with 1280x720 res and the new dual core Atoms and the $700 price tag might be worth it.

Wow. They don't even mention the size of the frickin screen. People posting information on the internet are sometimes a little retarded. Yeah, I could google it, but that's annoying.

I agree. In general I find the writers here to be substandard and stream-of-consciousness in method.

Ummm... no Linux model in U.S.? Then I won't buy one. Sorry, ASUS! Please reconsider that abysmally stupid marketing decision.

OOk I understand the concept of diversifying your product line to make it accessible to various economic classes but this is ridiculous. They should be improving the 901 keyboard design, looking into a better processor. negotiating SSD drive costs ect. it should be 3 classes a barebones kinda net book as the one they have now, a business model with more options to connectivity , and a media model packaged to play divx hd with an hdmi port and more space most likely a platter HDD.all of whichshould be competively priced.

ssd needs to get bigger and cheaper before these little laptops will be worth a damn

16 gigs? For 700 bucks?

SO not worth it.
