Really! It lacks all kinds of features that you could get on a laptop for about $70 more! For example, look at these specs:

Model: EeePC4G-W011 SKU: 8625295
Intel® Celeron® M processor; 512MB DDR2 memory; 7" widescreen; 4GB hard drive; built-in Web cam; only 2 lbs.; Linux operating system
Price: $380

Model: C762NR SKU: 8780081 (some Compaq laptop)
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core mobile processor T2370; 1GB DDR2 memory; DL DVD±RW/CD-RW drive; 15.4" widescreen; 160GB hard drive; Windows Vista Home Premium with SP1
Price: $450


And this is from Best Buy(!!!); you could probably get a better deal elsewehere!


This eeepc is pretty crappy! Of course, the plus is that it's slightly smaller than a regular laptop; but thats about it!
