    Tricky. :|


    It might just be easier to pre-order.

    I did last night. :)

    How can they provide products better than Apple if it's not even running OS X? That's so dumb.


    It's like Honda would say: "We want Civic to drive better than Bentley"

    @vladdybear: I'm not so sure how well that analogy fits, since Honda does build their own engines.


    Just the same, Asus could write drivers so that their notebooks are OS X compatible, and allow consumers to bridge the gap.


    Anyway, either OS being better is a subjective matter, and as far as I can see Windows 7 is getting a lot of positive reception.

    The company that actually manufactures Apple's laptops wants to outdo Apple's laptops? Por que??

    @Kaiser-Machead: Hmmm, I think maybe I was hasty in this comment, as Asustek may not actually be producing them anymore, but rather Quanta, or whoever else out there that Apple may contract. Oh wells, egg (possibly) on my face.

    Why would you need 160 gigs of storage?


    How about this exact netbook, at maybe 350$ with an 80G hard drive? Or this netbook with a slightly faster processor.


    I don't understand why a functional computer designed for portable work needs 160G of space. It's not a media center. It's a netbook.

    I've been looking into netbooks for my girlfriend but she requires an external DVD-RW drive. Not terribly familiar with laptops or external drives myself (why should I bother with a computer that doesn't tower over everything in my room and illuminate the whole house especially if I can't build it?) I began looking into both of these devices. Most external drives seem to require a USB Y-cable... so wouldn't the design of this book make it terribly inconvenient on most drives?

    @Absent Blue: No. Why would it? It's as inconvenient as any USB run device would be. Slower than a proper connector, but probably still works fine.

    I'm not exactly knowledgable with things like this... Can anyone tell me what I could actually do with this? Can I use it like a normal laptop? Is it mainly for just websites and emails? Can it runs decent games?

    In reply to The New Mantra of Tech: It's Good Enough
    An abundance of functions is not the key, so much as the product's overall usability. An iPod, a camera, a computer can have a plethora of functions, many of which you may never use. The trick is to have these functions available without becoming obtrusive to the most basic everyday tasks that just about 100% of its buyers actually bought it for. If a camera has tons of extras in its UI, it won't make a difference, so long as the basics are no less accessible in their addition.


    But I agree that a scattershot pattern of function-stuffing can end up with a product that aims to be a Jack of all Trades, yet is lackluster at any single task. A good example are the extremely cheap iPod knockoffs you see on ebay. They claim to support more formats and have more functions built-in, but that hasn't stopped them from being some of the poorest pieces of shit ever.
