Anyone else has it?
Three weeks ago I got a laptop ASUS Eee PC 701

EEE for Easy to play, Easy to learn and Easy to work

It is a tiny (7" screen, less than 1kg) and cheap laptop (about 300 euros/US$350) that works very well with only 512mb ram. It uses a 4GB solid-state disk so shocks are no longer issues which is nice when traveling.
Its resolution is only 800x480 pixels but it is enough for surfing on most sites including BW. It has WIFI and it runs on Linux Xandros that looks similar to Windows system in appearance.
I am very happy with it, it does the basics when I am away from home

I used to have a JVC Mini-Note PC MP-XP7230 that had a better screen (8.9-inch wide-screen SVGA display) and was running on XP but I like this new Asus better and it costs a lot less.

Yes, it is excellent. I would love to install it on more computers but unfortunately many softwares I use do not run on Linux.
