Hi Matt, FWIW, I saw one at my local MicroCenter a week ago...very nice lil' lappy....for light usage/carryaround everywhere unit it's a good choice given the relatively low price. As they were sold out I picked one up from CentralComputer here in Silicone Valley as they got about 60 of them in yesterday... Selling like hotcakes...most places that got some sold out immediately...ASUS is trying replenish as best they can... The eeePC 701 that is on sale now has 4GB flash storage and 512MB RAM (but user upgradeable to 1 or 2 GB, but the Linux OS on it only recognizes 1GB, but if you put XP on it, it will see 2GB).... ASUS is releasing soon a less expensive model with only 256MB RAM and 2GB Flash and no webcam to get price down around $200 +/-....see: http://wiki.eeeuser.com/eee_pc_700 Also, here's some other links for you that I found useful.... http://www.eeeuser.com/ http://forum.eeeuser.com/ http://eeepc.asus.com/en/index.htm http://www.centralcomputers.com/corp/pages/ASUSeeePC.html http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=184313 http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4055 Hacks are coming quickly....already enabled 'Advanced Desktop Mode' very easily using this as a guide: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/11/06/eee-pc-tips-a-crash-course-in-linux/ Havin' lots of fun with this lil' puppy....
