Shoot For the Clouds

| A netbook is usually about the size of that '80s-era Model 100 but has

| -based Eee PC 701 Asus that was introduced late last year and has a 7
| -inch display and a chic-let keyboard.
|
| Asus sold 1 million of those, but its new Atom-based Eee 901, 1000 and
| 1000 (H) have 8.9- to 10-inch widescreens, a choice of Windows or
Oops! He mentioned Windows!!!!
| Linux, up to 40GB of solid-state flash storage and up to nearly eight
| hours of battery life. Starting at $599, they still have that chiclet
| keyboard and weigh 3 pounds or less.
|
| With a very similar Atom- and Linux-based clamshell, Acer's new Aspire
| One retails for only $379 but doesn't have 8GB of Flash or the Eee PC's
| 20GB of free online storage. It has the same inch-thin Daytimer form
| factor and webcam mounted atop its 8.9-inch backlit LED display for
| vlogging and videoconferences. With about an inch more width, Aspire
| One has a larger keyboard.
