    Awesome thread idea. I have an Asus eeePC. It's the mini-laptop of my dreams, but it's gonna need replacement someday. I'm gonna stay updated on this thread

    £199 for the Linux version and £299 or the XP model

    @gn2: i suggest you include prices for the linux and windows models for comparison and best feature(s) of each 1 in the top post.

    Good idea, but prices vary between retailers and will rise and fall as the market shifts.

    Personally I don't care what the Windows models are priced at, I will not be buying one.

    The specs will change as well, already the Eee has been superseded by the 901

    I do like the look of that Acer.

    I am most definitely getting an Aspire One for my senior year of high school.
