everything on there sounds great except the tv tuner. i was wondering what kind of tuner it came with and now that which, i'm totally disappointed. dvb-t is not in use in the states to my knowledge and probably wont ever be.

There is nothing wrong with XP at all
would u really wanna run Vista on something with that little power
let alone the install space required

The netbooks a cool idea, pricey
but maybe the future…

10, its not that bad and theyre not trying to pass it off as a gaming rig. This is an EEE PC overpriced for those that can afford it.

From ASUS's standpoint its a good thing, they take their cheap (low profit margin) EEE platform, throw on a few nicities found on the higher end stuff and make a bit more profit. ASUS's laptop division i might say is the best their is (imho) they make all kinds of laptops including Apples. Do they make all of Apples laptops?

Yeah, but seeing how the idea of these tiny computers is to be an addition to your primary computer… price is a huge factor for these.

If this thing costs 1200 bucks it's not going to sell well, they should cut back on the expensive features and drop the price. The touchscreen is a great feature but GPS, Solid state drive and TV tuner? Those I think miss the mark for most people (even though I agree they are very cool).

Just saying, for a computer of this type. Price is the most important thing, not features.

@Cim, are you kidding me. Bulky machines might have these specs but a minibook? Touchscreen, (a)-GPS, DVB-T (tuner), Wifi (ofcourse), build-in webcam and Solid State Disk with 500 GB… and all that in a about nine inch notebook?!
It is like the all-in-one cellphone like the Samsung Omnia or iPhone (without the calling part, well, maybe, who knows?) for multipurpose and fits right into any bag to go with you anywhere! Sure the price is still too high, but there but be people who can afford it as if it's nothing and certainly buy one of these. Awsome.

I really want one of those, would fit what I need perfectly. No pricing info though, that's pretty important considering it's "just" a netbook. Those really need to be cheap since that's part of the reason people get them.

@6
1200 bucks? I can't believe that, no one in their right mind would pay that much for netbook. Would be an instant failure.

havent noticed anything like that on Eee. yeah, the keyboard is much smaller and it takes some time till you get used to it, but it's pretty solid.
