The keyboard looks a lot more usable than the EEE’s, but a non-replaceable battery? You’ve got to be kidding. One of the main attractions of the EEE is the large 10400 mah non-OEM batteries available. With a coule of those you can stay online all day without access to AC power.

because with the linux version , you’re not paying for a windows licence, so you can put more harddisk in for the same price.

The eee 901 sells with double the hard disk capacity in the linux version, for the same price. This is cause the windows licence costs the same as upgrading the harddisk.

Why is it only the Linux versions that get the high-capacity SSD??

Note that the Macbook Air’s thickness is 4-19.4mm. The MSI Wind, at its thickest is 18.9mm. The Lenovo S10, at its thickest is 20.5mm. In comparison, the S101, at 18-25mm isn’t as thin. (It takes up less surface area than a Macbook Air though.)

However, $799 for a device that has a 64GB SSD? Wow. I guess SSD prices really have dropped…

2450 mAh battery, not removable. So a non removable 3 cell. Goodbye.

Sorry, but 1024*600 resolution resolution? 600 horizontal resolution is too short and forces too much vertical scrolling…. If it was actually 1280*768 resolution, like what the HP mini-note 21333’s got, then I would get it in a heartbeat and install ubuntu on there as well
