An eee, why not just buy a real laptop, I just bought my son a dual core processor, 1GB RAM 160GB HD, dvd/cd burner with a big screen for 600$ US Dollars If I am going as big as an E, It just seems why not get a real laptop, especially since your screen is the same resolutions as the tablet. Once you can not put it in your pocket, does it really matter how big your laptop bag is? Anyway, I am not defending anything, or wishing you would not leave, but an EEE really?
