Typing on my eeepc right now...It's a great little machine!

I have been putting off purchasing a laptop for myself literally for years, because I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, which was something very light and portable, and priced reasonably. Plus I was not looking forward to Vista.

This little computer has all that...weighs barely 2 pounds and fits easily in my backpack with all my other junk, it only set me back $400, and it runs a customized version of Xandros linux, which actually works great.

It's easy to customize yourself as well. In fact, I managed to mess something up this morning, and couldn't get firefox to run. Just power it off, power it back on, hit F9 while it's booting, choose 'restore defaults', and it boots back to the out-of-the-box state!

Cool! I know ten or so people that are waiting for theirs to come.

Why don’t you do a review for us, with specs and pics and capabilities?
