Well, yes. But I do not think you can compare the two easily for some reason while you say you can. EEE PC is certainly very portable though. Yet does it target the same crowd as the Air?

Hard to say. I do not know.

Unarguably though, you can more easily work on the Air given the power of the processor, memory, drive not to mention keyboard and screen size.

Yet the functions you'd use the Air for can presumably also be done with reasonable ease using the EEE PC, albeit more awkward probably. I think you'd be less inclined to work on the EEE, on documents or whatever, then with the Air.

Still, we argree on putting Linux onto it regardless of which! EEE Pc is nice ... but I'd consider it more of a Dinky-Toy-Hack-Throwaround laptop.
