Has anyone used, or even seen, the Asus EeePc?  It's a micro mini
laptop, weighing in at around 2 pounds, that runs Linux and that retails
for around $400-600.

 

That's a lot less $$ than the new MacBook Air, for a computer to carry
around to write with.  I saw a guy in Borders using one-he had it hooked
up to his regular laptop.  I wish now I'd asked him about it, but I
didn't want to interrupt him.

 

If the EeePc were still at its original announced price of $199, I'd
rush right out and buy one.  But $400 is too much for an impulse
purchase, especially since I don't know how well the Asus would
interface with Macs.

 

It looks as though the Asus will fit into the same niche as the Psion,
but at a much lower price.

 

Does anyone have any opinions about the EeePc, and/or do you know of any
stores in the Washington, DC, area that carry them?
