Yo Linux Fans! Buy.com got some nice deal for you! For a mere $180, you can get the ASUS EeePC900A, with free S&H. This is a brand new model, not a refurbished. There are no rebates to bother with!
Sounds great, so what's the catch? Well, for one thing, it runs Linux, which scares away a number of Windows-cozy and Mac-adoring computer users. For another, it only has a four gigabyte solid state disk for storage, so you don't have the luxury of storing things on it. Essentially the solid state disk is for running the machine, so if you want additional storage, you have to add USB sticks or memory-cards to your pockets or netbook bag.
Having said all that however, you can't complain with the main specs, 1gb memory, Atom N270 (1.6 GHz) processor, 8.9-inch display (WSVGA), wifi, card-reader, three USB slots, and things like that. It weight just a Snickers bar over two pounds with the battery installed!
So, if nothing else, check it out so you won't have regrets of "not even taking a look at it" before it goes away...
