[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 7175, member: 21"] They are kind of a specialty device. They are not a replacement for a "normal" laptop by any means. They are small and light. They are low power and last a good time. Intel has come out with newer versions of the Atom CPU line that are faster. There is even a dual core. Those should be faster. I got one of the Asus EEE versions for $149 on closeout. It only has a 4G solid state drive so it's pretty limited. I did have XP on it, but it was really slow to boot. I now have it on a Linux dist made for these devices and it is a lot better. It's actually pretty cool now. It's just so easy to carry along. Great for checking your email or surfing the web. I would hate to type extensively on the thing. The keys are just so tiny. [/QUOTE]
