They have. The Eee power supply is only 9x4x3 cm. Perfect for travelling.
I'll add a vote for the Eee. I'm on my second one. I bought an original Linux 701 when they first came out last year which I loved, but always felt it needed a slightly bigger screen. I took delivery of a Linux 901 two weeks ago and I was right. The bigger screen and longer life battery have taken an already fantastic machine up several levels.
I'm not a Linux geek, but using the Eee has not been a problem in any way whatsoever. If you really want, the Eee comes with XP too, but I wouldn't bother.
Why would you not bother with xp?
Also can you view web pages in full width or do you have to scroll sideways?Asus Eee PC 901 Windows XP - White - EEEPC901-W007X
thanks

I too would prefer a small laptop instead of the HP brick I have. Is there anywhere that offers part exchanges?0

Wow thanks guys for all this input, veeeery helpful.
I think ill drop into PCworld tis week so i can physically see one in front of me to chech out quality and proposed problems (then be cheeky and see what they can offer me with it. like free cases or whatever).Never knock on death's door, ring the doorbell and run away ..... he hates that :mad:0 -
Been to PCworld to look at laptops, and must admit i prefer the advent 4211, but i forgot to think and noticed theres no CD/DVD Drive!!!!!!!!!
Any suggestions of where to get a cheap External DVD Drive, or is it just an ebay job???
Ive had a look at a few places but all around £40!Never knock on death's door, ring the doorbell and run away ..... he hates that :mad:0 -

Prefer it to what sahun? I didn't think PC World stocked the Eee PC 901, just the smaller screened (and quite different looking) 701.There's love in this world for everyone. Every rascal and son of a gun.

Prefer the Advent to the Asus Eee. Yeah PCworld have both instore (same with curries). It is slightly bigger, with much larger HDD and memory, and cheaper. Am going to try PCworld Business......if they ever get any in stock as they are another £60 cheaper.Never knock on death's door, ring the doorbell and run away ..... he hates that :mad:0 -

I wonder on what date, and for how much, Aldi will actually sell their MSI Wind = Advent 4211 clone which they give the snappy title of Medion Akoya Mini 10" NETBOOK E1210?0
