... thats only on the 2G.

Photoshopped tulips instead of a photoshopped bird.

Since the pricing and screen resolution isn't known, it's a bit early to call it an Eee competitor.

It's also the size of a normal "small and light" laptop.

The new Thinkpad X300 (for instance) is about the same size, has solid state storage, a proper high-res screen, more CPU grunt, and is black, as in helicopters.

I'm also amazed that any Eee competitor would be launched without the obligatory beach babe. It's genre-defining FFS.

..... it has a gratuitous half-clothed female on the advertisement photograph. FFS surely we've all by now outgrown the more traditional bloke or fully-clad girl-in-a-suit professional adverts, all very PC. Its 2008, time to get down and dirty. I want babes draped over my future PCs, like you have in a motor show.

Back to the actual IT - I find it very hard to get excited about equipment that I cannot actually walk into a shop and buy. I'm not at all interested in what rival equipment does not yet exist - it simply is not rival until it does!

Paris - wondering why more girls don't take their clothes off for the camera.

where is the obligatory 'Eee PC and _friend_' piccy?

Everything ECS produces is an epic pile of garbage.

Title said it all really.

Something is wrong , the picture is missing the usual gratuitous scenery we have come to expect when promoting the ladies handbag size units !

niiiice!
