This is the form factor for me

I haven't owned a cell phone in years because I hate them. They cost too much, they're too small for serious Web use and I don't want to lug around a satchel full of devices. But I think I could like a netbook if it had good software installed, 3G, and a Bluetooth phone headset. Then I have it all-- easily luggable, a real computer with a real keyboard and screen, and a phone. Seems like a winning combination to me. |

I already really like my netbook. I had one with a 7" screen and I agree it's a good form factor. It'll be interesting to see what these ARM/Snapdragon systems are like. I may have a MIPS-based system here for review soon too :) |

@jdixon: I'm glad you're satisfied with them. If, for any reason, you decide to move away from Xandros Presto on the Eee I was very impressed with Debris Linux, a slimmed down distro based on Ubuntu, which I reviewed for DistroWatch this week. It installs in only 850MB which would leave a lot of space on that 4GB SSD for additional apps or data. |
