asus ASUS Eee PC, One Laptop Per Adult What a product, I see my friend who use ubuntu call me to list all participant for pre-order a portable PC from Asus called "ASUS Eee" which is sell start from $200. I think he is joking since the only cheap laptop project I knew is One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) but after googling for while then I found it’s true that there is a product by ASUS. Laptop for adult

Yes, I must admire the only limitation in this product is "storage". But with external HD that spread nowadays thats storage limitation is not big thing to worry.
