Does anyone else see this as a bit out of the price range and scope of netbooks. Seriously, you can get a legitimate small laptop for this same price that actually performs well.
Indeed, Though I personally lost interest in the eee when they never made the $199 model (widely) available. "The $199 laptop, yours now for only $299.99" Yay! After that I'm not really surprised about that it turned out like this in the long run :(
yes u can pay less for a "fully fledged" celeron laptop - with an EEE you are paying for the form factor. some people actually want a little laptop they can take on the bus/train..

$640 is exactly what I paid for a 14" Gateway\Turion 64 X2, 2G, 250G, with a DVD burner and a web cam. Just a few months ago...

remember the Libretto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshiba_Libretto) - that cost A LOT more than a normal laptop.
People don't seem to realize this machine offers a 7.5 hour battery life..
