I was in a store on London's Tottenham Court Road this evening, and was told they'd been promised a delivery of the new eee on April 28th, and they'd probably get my reserved 7" 4G at the same time... Now, can I justify the extra 80GBP to upgrade?
Decisions, decisions...

Did they put the right Shift key into the proper position? The Page Up key is where the shift key should be on the 701. eeeuser.com has a script for fixing it but it changes all the directional keys (a very minor annoyance). You'd think Asus would read the forums and fix this.

Anyone want to buy my 701 so I can get this?

Im waiting for the Atom powered version.

Whether the 900 or even the 700 (I would rather go for the 701 seeing as I've already got a mid-size lappie)

why can't they ever put a freaking link to the product page in the article so I can easily check the stats...

I click the 'Eee PC 900' link and all I get is: less information back when it was originally revealed...

I want to learn about the item itself, I don't give a flying rats ass about gizmodo's previous coverage of it!

So, I guess I'll just nav away from gizmodo to google eee pc 900...

This may look cheaper than the HP subnotebook, but it doesn't have that retarded ass side-mounted trackpad button nonsense, and though the Eee has a few cheapo points here and there for flimsy fit n' finish, it certainly looks nicer, though the HP has some faux Powerbook 12" going on.

Considering the Eee 701 outperforms the HP, Asus is still the top dog in my opinion.

First, I waited close to a year between first hearing about these and actually being able to buy one.

Then I heard about the 9" screen in the works and I've been waiting since then for this to roll out.

Then Intel has to go and debut the Atom late enough that I'll have to wait for the next iteration of these subnotebooks. Damn you, Intel!

@chopstickhero: Compared to the HP this one is kinda cheap. As in, you could buy like three of them for the price of the HP.

The big screen alone may snag me indefinitely, and putting the camera on the bezel of the display. Bellissimo.
