    Not going to succeed – the reason people buy the Eee is because it’s cheap. This is not cheap.

    I don’t want the eee, I ant the hacked eee with FM transmitter, gs, extra storage and all that other jazz.

  • Great machine! A lot cheaper than a macbook air.

  • The next eeepc (8.9″ screen) will also cost $499 if I’m not mistaken, so this is about the right price.

    I hope machines like this are the future. It would make laptop computers available to more people, students in particular. It would be great to see students grow up with Linux and know that there is always choice.

  • least they could do is replace the windows key with a penguin key!

    bloatware?…… on SuSe Linux? Wrong o/s dude, you can fit every conceivable type of application/service/server on a 4GB linux install dude. Get out of Windows land….

    @ Dave: There is no bloatware its a Linux based system. No Windows means No Bloatware. I’m going back to college in September here and I’m looking for one of these to take to class with me. I love the fact that they have 8+ hours of battery life and smaller solid state drives.
