Its very nice, but im gunning for the msi wind, in fact, as soon as one lands ill buy one. Only thing i think could potentially beat it, although i have no reason to believe this, would be the dell ultra portable. Hopefully some news will come on it soon enough.

msi wind.

10.2 inch screen
80 gig harddrive
1.6 atom (at the push of a button it jumps to 1.9 or down to around .7)
bluetooth
near full sized keyboard
attractive
very close to same size as eee pc

All for $499 with xp, $399 without

Seems like a killer deal at this point.

heck, for $399 without xp it'll be a steal

Hard drive = slow
10.2" is too big for me

the lappy is not much bigger than the eee, its very slight.. it still around a kilo.

compare body sizes http://mikecane2008.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/keyboards-msi-wind-vs-asus-eeepc/

And in testing people have been very happy with the speed, most reporting its faster than the eee pc.

Oh and did i mention the lcd is led backlit.
