Anyone who mentions they can get a regular laptop for the price on an ultralight on these forums is exiled to gizmodo where they will to sit around missing the point forever.

Thanks very much.

When I read this "Of course, the major changes are internal, so the exterior looks pretty much the same" I was pretty confused... since it looks quite different to me, and I've been following the 900 close (so getting one).]]>May 14th 2008 11:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/May 14th 2008 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/May 15th 2008 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/May 15th 2008 3:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/
The whole point of these laptops is that they're cheap. Adding extraneous features just makes it like any other laptop.]]>May 15th 2008 3:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/
The Wind however is going in the right direction I think, because the price should never ever go above $500 and even that's pushing it for something so weak.]]>May 14th 2008 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/
"We already knew most of the details on the MSI Wind, but the Atom-based ultraportable just got official US pricing and availability today -- and just like we hoped, it got a little cheaper on the trip over."

Atom on the other hand is in demand by EVERY laptop manufacturer (seriously, how many Atom based laptops/MIDs were announced in the last 3 months, 20? 30?) which will drive the price up. The only good thing coming from the Atom based EEE is the increased battery life, which is still marginal. Asus should really get better batteries for a LCD screen that size.]]>May 15th 2008 4:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/May 15th 2008 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/
I'm sure ASUS will price it at $550 or $600, which would completely defeat the reasons for the Eee's success.

Have you seen the internals of an eee, there is no room for a drive and as such they would have to make it bigger and more expensive,

If you need a drive that much then buy an external and glue it to the bottom. its pretty much what they would have to do except they would modify the housing for you]]>May 15th 2008 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/

Anyway from the last interview with Asus people I heard this thing would sport a bluetooth and yeah the diamondville Atom...the normal 20GB SSD......the likes: the new design isn't bad, the mouse pad is a good improvement, diamondville is not bad, better than silverthorne....dislikes: the chrome does it for me (black EEE wouldn't look nice with those shiny things, I want an all black), the bluetooth isn't necessary it just increased the price and most people wouldn't even use it. They should have left the same specs as the 900 (20GB SSD variant) and just add the atom processor. I was planning on getting one for University next year but damn, Looks like I have to wait and see.]]>Jun 4th 2008 4:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/Jun 5th 2008 1:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/Jun 8th 2008 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/asuss-atom-based-eee-901-shows-up-in-pictures/Jun 18th 2008 5:34PM
