Eee PC- A Few Months Later, Reality Sets In

I think the Asus did an amazing job entering the Ultra portable market with the Eee PC. It might not be the best Ultra portable but for the price its a great start. As the article mentioned, obviously there are some issues such as the screen and reliability. But those things can be taken care over time with revisions.<p>We have to remember, perfecting laptops is not very easy and it takes a few trials. First Apple laptops were horrible, both design and usability.<p>I think this is where linux could make a serious entrance for mainstream consumers. Offering a cheap laptop with ample of features and portability without sacrificing software. Eee + Ubuntu is a great as some of the users have noticed. I think they can perfect the Ubuntu/Eee combo and make it a killer offering.<p>Thoughts?

I bought an EEE PC and its a wonderful first computer for my 5-year old son. I also use it sometimes and its great for travelling. yes there are issues with the small screen size, but generally I'm happy with it. For the price its a great machine. I also have a MacBook Air which is fantastic as it is light and has a large screen but obviously the cost is 10x that of the eee pc
