The Eee PC is definitely a novelty and it seems to be at quite a good price point. I noticed this review down at the TweakTown website. It seems they took the Eee PC apart to component level and have lots of pretty pictures of each component. So if you are interested to see what a Solid State drive looks like, or which chipset has been implemented inside the Eee PC. Check it out for yourself.

I'mat the strangeness of the reviewers disturbing outlook, but definitely it is worth a read if you are planning on buying one of these for Christmas.

Does anyone know if this laptop has a fan to cool the internals, or is fully passively cooled? I have tried to read all info on the subject (thanks warlockza for that link by the way) but can't be sure either way.
A laptop without a fan (or any spinning optical or hard drive) ie fully silent would be amazing, at nearly any price.

System as shown, plus: Microsoft Wireless mobile 4000 mouse and Logitech Illuminated keyboard.

No problem for the link.
I saw a fan in one of those pictures on that review. The part where the author"puts down his tools" and goes deeper.

It seems to be on the underside of the motherboard, cooling directly below the CPU if my judgement is not completely whacked.
Aye little fan which is a shame. My Samsung Q30 was fanless, only noise was from a 1.8" hdd spinning - sooooo peaceful to use.
Well i've just picked one up - i'll post my thoughts 2morrow once i've had a chance to play

Ooooo, where did you get one from? The online shops seem a bit slow on the take up.
Edit: maybe I'll hassle Scan, there was a Eee post on their forum page
edit edit: just seen the today only, ermmmm
So I got it..
First impression - "is that the box? The box is tiny!"
but..
That's nothing compared to the lappy:
Yup, that's a bog standard mouse on top for size comparison.
Quick impressions as i can't really play too much:
Pros:
- OMFG ITS SOOOOOOOO SMALL!!
- OMFG ITS SOOOOOOOOOOOO LIGHT!
- LINUX/preloaded software - looks okay, even given my lack of l33tness it's easy to use.
- WIFI works
- Webcam is good!
- USB/SD Card slots/LAN/Modem/speaks/mic/headphone socket etc. Lots built in.
- Solid/feel
- Keyboard suprisingly good (for size)
- Price
- Startup time (cold boot) very good.
- Wallet comes with it - i'd call it a bag but er.. it's soo tiny!
- Everyone in the office now wants one
Cons:
- 1 dead stuck/pixel (bummer)
- Linux
- Everyone in the office now wants one

Nah, looks nice mate. Feel free to pop over with it
This hot girl came over to myspace last night, she twittered my yahoo till I

Yeah fair quote - and i've changed my mind purely on the basis this is an ultra compact - something i've always wanted on ocassion but never wanted to part with a four figure sum for. Or I bought it because I could. One of those.LOL!
Nah, looks nice mate. Feel free to pop over with it
I'll pop round with it sometime soon

Holy frippeting Christ, I want one of those, and I want one NOW
Done some fiddling and managed to get Opera on there - useful as firefox piles over when running ultravnc's java client. Opera faster too
Speakers: pretty loud for something so small, and don't distort either. Better than my other lappy.
still deciphering linux command line

Ah so you sucumbed to the dark side of the ultra portable
How you finding the battery life / noise level?
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
thats what i was wondering, what is the battery life like? for something so small its battery is going to have to be quite small, i doubt it would be much if it didn't have a longer battery life than my own laptop
They claim 3.5 hours, and I guess you can't use it that heavily with gaming so it might be right...
