I think it’s worth waiting for the 10″ version

I was waiting for this one to come out, but now I will end up buying a regular laptop. Too unfortunate. $549 is too high for the machine.

HP realized this, but Asus makes a big mistake with EEE 900. Even the EEE 701 Surf for 300$ is powerful enough for what it is made for: browsing, email, chat, voip, wordprocessing , basic office tasks, etc. It only lacks the 9" display. In Europe the situation is worse because of Euro based pricing. No matter what is in the box, 500$ is the upper limit in the ultra-portable category.
