I was planning on getting an EEE, but then I saw a MSI laptop, I think it's the
MS-1058. Specs are roughly 2x that of the EEE, and price was less than double the price (if I remember correctly) - so sure, it's more expensive, but you get far more power. Haven't made my final decision yet, so will continue to read this thread, maybe I'll go with the EEE after all
EDIT: found quite a nice
review - I just hope it is actually the laptop I'm thinking of. Price is R5,000 (South African Rands) compared to the cheapest EEE 700 at R2,500.
