The 800x480 resolution on that 7" screen kills it for me. Hopefully they bump it up when/if they come out with a larger screen version.

of course its useable. many people used to run 640x480... at least i remember doing it and that was on a 12" screen.
i like this at $200, but at $300 you really have better options as long as you dont mind a larger form factor.

where exaclty does one find a ~10-12" lappy for $400-500? (not used, I never buy used electronics) I was looking to buy the EEE pc for use at school, but it keeps looking less and less desirable as the price goes up and the specs go down. typical bait and switch imo.
That's *much* bigger and heavier -- 15.4".Originally posted by: SilentRunning

Oct 16 announcement, End of Month in stores, Double RAM?
Friday, October 12th, 2007
According to this article from DigiTimes, ASUS will indeed announce the final Eee PC prices on October 16th. It does officially confirm that the $199 price point can only be reached by contract orders, as expected. An initial batch of 10,000 units will hit Taiwan markets after the announcement. By the end of this month, Eee PC?s will be available in the BestBuy / Newegg channels (as suggested in the last news update.)
Furthermore, x94scorp on our forums noticed a new update on the official ASUS website where the RAM specifications of the devices have all been raised. The 8G model has 1GB of RAM, the 4G and 4G Surf models have 512MB, and the 2G Surf has 256MB. Have the specifications been raised? Interesting!
