I was thinking the same thing. They had one of those "fake" displays, so I couldn't even TRY it. Looking at the thing, my first reaction was "This should really be a touch screen"...
Yeah, there have been some netbooks with touchscreens, but haven't gotten good reviews and are far more expensive. Really, my dream device right now is the original eee, but with the full screen (not with the ugly black borders) and make it a swivel touchscreen. And has a similar price. Is that too farfetched?
I just bought to my wife a Acer Aspire One for 250 Euros. It is better quality than the ASUS, sleek design, polished finishing, better keyboard, and support 2 SDHD cards, one will work as extension for the 8G internal memory (I installed a 16G SDHD so the total memory is 22G).
It boots very fast (5 to 6 seconds), comes loaded with SW and has a bright screen. The OS is Linux, and with a neat user interface.
I might by one for me ;-)
looks a lot nicer than than the eee. still no touchscreen on that range ^^
When It gets there I'll make sure I get one. theres the Gigabyte M912V, and the kojinsha SC3 and SX3, but they are on a higher range.
I have almost completely decided to buy an Asus eee 1000h, though an Aspire One is my second choice, unless I change my mind. I think the final decider was battery life: The eee 1000h has more than five hours without charging, some say seven.
