Ooo looks to be an EeePC beater; better battery life, 80GB storage, bluetooth - me wanty!
what happened to the flash storage? I thought there was going to be an option for this. I was looking forward to the MSI Wind but wanted to remove any mechanical points of failure and have a laptop that could take a few knocks along the way.
Also bit of a joke they have removed the Bluetooth from the Linux version...:surprised:
I'd say the half size battery is a bigger deal. 2.5 vs 5.5 hours is huge.Quote:

If it works, it should bring the cost down below that of the Linux version, but without the crippled spec.Quote:

I'd be suprised if stock was in before then. I'm sure the atom CPU isn't released until end of June at the earliest.
