In Asus to phase out sub-10in Eee PCs, says CEO

I love my 701 because its small, robust and had a good battery life and boots up in seconds.

It kills me that the things that makes them most appealing are all the things they are going to miss off the new ones. I've got a laptop for the serious stuff, I just want something to surf the web on, pack in my bag and take with me and not break my back carrying it.

Shame about XP only too. I hate windows, but each to their own. But what bothers me is the effective dropping of open source. Can't help but think that all the driver support will effectively stop. Also can't help but think some Microshite $$'s have helped influence the XP only move. (but I may be paranoid).

Mines the one with the 701 in the pocket (rather than in the *laptop* bag)
