    Alright, did I miss something? When are we going to get a Netbook with 2gig of RAM? That is all that stops me form getting one.

    @szrimaging: You could always throw another gig in it. Often times if you order them from the manufacturer you can configure it with 2gig from the start.

    Pink gadgets should be outlawed for anyone over the age of 12 for the sake of humanity.

    @Curves: Why don't you be the one to bring that bill before Congress? That way when the mob of hundreds of angry 12 year old girls arrives looking to skin you with their eyelash curlers and cuticle removers, I can point them to you. I think it would be a worthy cause for someone else to be martyred for.

    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?


    I don't know specs all that well... /:

    So everyone complains about the MacBook Pro having an integrated battery and not a complaint in sight here about the Asus. Maybe everyone has accepted this is the way things are going?

    @twilight-arc:


    A MacbookPro is 2700 to start, used by film/media professionals that need to swap out batteries because they may not have an outlet nearby.


    This is $429 and a relatively low powered lappie.

    Very nice. I'm glad ASUS is putting some design into their netbooks. I recently bought a Dell Mini 9 after owning two Eee PCs, and though I'll always have a fond spot in my heart for those ASUS machines, the Dell is so much nicer looking it's not even funny.

    @craig_16:


    I'm afraid the 1024 x 576 pixel screen would be a deal killer for me. Maybe if it were a more standard 1024 x 600... but I can imagine a number of apps (mostly older games) breaking due to the nonstandard size.
