For $500, on eBay you can pick up a nice, albeit used, Thinkpad X30 with the ability to go to 1gb of RAM. It won't be that much heavier than the eEE, when you consider it comes with a 40gb hdrive and a 12" screen.]]>Nov 15th 2007 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/asus-confirms-the-8gb-10-inch-eee-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/asus-confirms-the-8gb-10-inch-eee-pc/
I also see a price drop of the 7" model when the 10" model releases, and the 10" model to hover near the price point of the current 7" model.

The $20 price jump for the LCD contributed to the $200 retail price jump, but it wasn't the only contributing factor. The original $200 price tag was for a 7", 2 gig laptop, without carrying bag and camera. At the time of manufacture, the 2 gig jump in SSD prices, the price hike in the LCD, and the addition of the bag and camera, added to the price.

Asus did not see a market for that stripped down of a laptop in its home market, which is Taiwan. Of course that would appeal to the US market, which they're trying to break into, but we must understand that Asus has very very little market share in the United States as far as laptops go, and therefore will target demographics where they have a larger market share.

Please remember the 7" EEE PC was an early attempt and testing the waters of US demand for ultra-portable laptops, and things will only get better the 2nd time around.]]>Nov 14th 2007 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/asus-confirms-the-8gb-10-inch-eee-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/asus-confirms-the-8gb-10-inch-eee-pc/ screen won't simply replace the 7" screen and the speakers to the sides.
I would expect the 10" model to be slightly larger."

From TFA: "Das Gehäuse bleibt dabei gleich groß wie beim 4G-Modell", meint der Asus-Sprecher, der Platz hierfür reiche problemlos aus.

Translation: "The enclosure remains at the same size as the 4G model", according to the Asus spokesperson, as there is more than enough space.

Getting an EEE to output the right resolution and sync frequencies should not be hard since I believe it uses well-documented video chipset, and running Linux makes it relatively easily hackable.]]>Nov 14th 2007 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/asus-confirms-the-8gb-10-inch-eee-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/asus-confirms-the-8gb-10-inch-eee-pc/

The U810 has a 5.6 inch screen.
The "compact 15" laptop" has a 15 inch screen.

I want something with a 10" screen. There is very little available in that space. I don't understand why.]]>Nov 14th 2007 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/asus-confirms-the-8gb-10-inch-eee-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/asus-confirms-the-8gb-10-inch-eee-pc/

I love my eee, but battery life is a bit disappointing, esp since my macbook gets close to 5 hours, even with wifi constantly on (surfing while listening to tunes sucks it down much faster). The eee goes MAYBE 2.5 hours, wifi always on. Would driving a bigger screen w/o an improved battery run the battery down faster?
