As I said, you should get a commission because I purchased two. I'll let you know how they work for our application and purposes. Thanks for the review Dave and for the recommendation.

It's intriguing to how people react to this machine, even though it doesn't come from a "name brand". Diana and Geoff, you both raise interesting questions. Will Apple blow it out of the water with an Apple branded product (likely at a higher price)? Or will people ignore Apple's offering and pursue the value? I know what I'd like to see (to prove my point, of course), but as most things go, something completely different will probably happen! Dave Thanks for all the comments.

Since Apple is in need of a big bang at MacWorld this year (coming up in a few weeks), this might be a rumour come true!

While they've reached their sales target of 350,000 devices in 2007, the challenge ahead is branding. How will U.S. and global consumers refer to the device? eeePC? ASUS? This is an excellent opportunity to build a global brand. I'll take one in lime green! It’s so exciting to see an affordable and portable mini-me PC.

I want one. And I agree about the idea of value. Ironically, it's not a good value because it's relatively inexpensive, but because it's valuable. OK, that’s hot. I want one.
