Personally I think the 10" is too large, the 9" is perfect. Only reason why I don't say the 7" is perfect is because of the screen height, it cuts off some windows (like display properties)

I just found the MSI Wind: 1.6Ghz Atom processor, 80gb harddrive, 10" screen, and bigger keyboard...

Review: MSI Wind Review (Verdict: At Last!)

Quote:
So this brings us to the inevitable question, "should I get the Asus Eee 901 instead?" In full disclosure, I have not used an Eee 901. But I do know that it costs $100 more than the Wind. And looking at the spec list (which includes a smaller screen), I'm dumbfounded as to where that extra cost may have been utilized—solid state storage, I guess.

$479.99 on Amazon, with 120gb harddrive and 1gb ram (and in black)

I was at Fry's the other day, and I almost bought this. But if you look closer it's a fingerprint magnet. That bugs the **** out of me, but if you're fine with that then go for it.

I looked around at a lot of competition and I've decided to go ahead with the 1000h. I just ordered it Amazon.com: ASUS Eee PC 1000H 10-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) Fine Ebony: Computers & PC Hardware and unless I ****ed up the address I should have it next friday or the monday after that. Awesome. I'll be sure to write about it.

EDIT: **** nm, I guess they dont like me ='(

Considering the first thing I wrote was "I'm definitly getting one of these", I dont see how you could have got that in your head.

But I want the 80gig one as it comes with two partitions with 40gb each and Ima set up a dual boot on that badboy. Just trying to decide on what the second os is going to be.
