[CoLoCo] Asus eee 1000

[David L. Willson]

I think ASUS is doing it perfectly.  The power machine ~and~ the econo-box are running
Linux.  You consistently get more hardware for the same price by choosing Linux.

OTOH, I do think that some folks aren't going to see the point of buy a little one when
they can get a big one for the same price, but that is the point, it's little.  Some
UMPCs cost ~more~ than the big ones.

The new eee looks really cool with the Atom
> processor, 40 GB SSD, etc, but they aren't doing Linux any favors. The
> windows version is cheaper and comes with an 80GB drive (not SSD). I think
> they are missing the price point too now at over $600 and even $700.
