[ALUG] Asus Eee pc 4G

[mephi]

I've been thinking about getting one since they were announced, but I've got
to look at it next to my current laptop (A Dell L400) to see if it really is
that much better.

I saw some of those last Tuesday (I'll blog more about that soon) and
it looks like a very nice little machine indeed.  I've seen it
advertised slightly cheaper for education, but that might have been a
different specification.  I think it was running Xandros, but the
delivered configuration was trivially root-shell-able (in under 5s).

So, who's got one and who's getting one?  What's the battery life? I
just got a 3 phone (with ssh and mail) instead of a new laptop because
it was lighter and more versatile.  I must be getting old...
