    For £150-200 I would. But what's the chances they end up nearer £400?

    Ditto at £150-200, but over £400+ wouldn't surprise me

    The title of this confused me.

    I believe - now - that it refers to two models, each with a touchscreen. Initially I thought it meant a device with two (i.e. twin) touchscreens.

    £400 doesn't strike me as bad value. Obviously £200 would be better - but £100 would be better still. (Just teasing.)

    My point is I paid £1700 for my HP TC1100 a few years back, and thought (and still do think) it was good value.

    £400 (or below ) would be phenomenal value, imho.

    If they can bring these in for £250-£300 they will sell like hot cakes i'm sure..i'd probably replace my eeepc with one, even if it does have an atom in it

    Re: News - ASUS unleashes twin touchscreen Eee netbook PCs

    one of these at ~ £300 would be very tempting, but what price a version of this based on yukon, with the (rumoured) 1GHz Neo? 10" tablet with Radeon X1200 graphics @ ~ £450? It may be pure speculation, but I bet you'd find some takers...

    This actually looks like a grown-up machine. Add in tablet functionality and a netbook-esque price and the package looks compelling. Would be better with a dual-core atom or the new VIA chip - 6 months from now perhaps?
