| said by xenophon  :It appears to sell for $300-$400. I've seen full-featured laptops sell for under $400. Why buy something so restrictive? What are you talking about? Restrictive? This thing has TONS of modding potential! Besides, the $300 - $400 laptops you're referring to are in an entirely different class. When people call the EeePC an "ultra portable," they aren't kidding. It's small size and weight (around 2 lbs) make it absolutely perfect for anyone on the go. I purchased mine for several reasons, but most of all because I can use it unobtrusively during class as well as to upload photos to my website while away from home. Being able to video conference with the built in camera also piqued my interest.
Yes, I also have a full blown Core Duo laptop too, but since purchasing the EeePC, its larger brother has hardly been taken out of its carrying case.
Your mileage may vary of course, but in my personal opinion, the EeePC was a bargain at only $389 shipped free from Buy.com with my Google Checkout discount.
