My two cents on the subject of the Eee PC 900/901/1000 vs Lenovo U110B: They are both small and portable but one is in the $500-700 range and the other is closer to $2000. Yes, the latter is more powerful and more versatile. Not sure if I’d want it as my primary (desktop replacement) computer, but it costs at least as much as a primary desktop computer. If one wants a small lightweight computer to do basic tasks that is easy to carry around and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, then the Eee PC is your choice. If you want the power of a desktop computer in the Eee PC-ish form factor, then the two-grand Lenovo is your choice.

Usually if you want small and powerful (Lenovo) you have to pay more than you would if you want big and powerful (desktop computer). With the Eee PC, you now have an option if you want small and adequate but not too expensive.

[...] my Eee heavily for 5 days now and I figured I would post a second impression. As I mentioned in my previous post, the Eee is tiny and thats why I am loving it so much. Its very light weighing around 900grams [...]

Well Mubz, your friend is a miracle worker. From Australia as well! I think you might find you have your wires crossed. Neither love nor money will get you an MSI Wind right now let alone on the 3rd!

also i read on tomshardware that the atom 1.6ghz is actually slower than the celeron 900mhz available in the Eee. Still waiting for the Eee 901 to come out so people can start benchmarking them.

@Mubz
That’s impressive. You do know that the MSI Wind isn’t yet available.

As I mentioned above, I didn’t get the Atom because I didn’t want to pay that much for the laptop.

Hey Mark,

I think you should have waited for the 901. Afterall, the Atom experience shouldn’t be missed. Anyway, Congrats .. :)

UncleBenz the 20GB has been out of stock since it got released. You just have to keep checking to see if its back in stock or not, thats what I did and got lucky.
