ASUS UK helps us sort out the Eee PC lineup, forgets to help

Alright, raise your hand if the deluge of minor new Eee PC models like yesterday's random launch of a 16GB 900 has you totally befuddled. Yeah, that's what we thought -- and apparently what ASUS UK thinks, too, because a new chart listing all the various Eee configurations is up on its site. One problem though: it's also confusing as hell. Just the first two rows are an insane mish-mash of model numbers and pre-loaded operating systems, and we're loving the unlabeled row at the bottom that marks all the Linux machines as "XP Compatible." Thanks, ASUS. All that said, however, it does look like the 901 still the Eee to buy -- so maybe it's time to start trimming this ridiculous list down, guys.

Considering that size is one of the major reasons for getting an Eee, one would think they would also list the dimensions on each one too.

How are the 900 and 901's with Video pod casts and sites like Hulu and Netflix streaming? Are the processors and video chip sets capable enough to make watching these enjoyable?

Did anyone else notice that Oxfordshire is not listed on the Asus website?

No resellers there? One would think that flush uni students might like to be seen with trendy lappies.

"Did anyone else notice that Oxfordshire is not listed on the Asus website?"

I'd be surprised if Gordon Brown didn't raise that important point at the G8 today.

I like how the ditzy Natalie Portman wannabe girl in the yellow shirt (follow the link to Asus' website) doesn't know how to hold a laptop.

Eva Longoria in the pink dress is saying "Turn it around, you dumbass" "Really? That's how it works?" as Ashton Kutcher on the left gazes lustfully at the only person in the scene who actually knows how to use a laptop....

Actually, this is pretty easy to understand. I feel like I have a better grasp of the myriad of models available.

yeah pretty easy to understand, pick a model and go down =o)

The chart on wikipedia is dynamic. Which will be needed as a swarms of new models hit the scene.
