Asus EeePC 700 price is final

Looks like the folks at Asus have finally decided to agree on the price of the Asus EeePC 700 computer. You can place your pre-order at Allasus.com by just dropping $260. For that price, you get 2GB of storage space and a form factor of a miniature UMPC - and I thought UMPCs could not get any smaller. Of course, if you fork out an additional $140, you'll be able to pick up the 4GB model (EeePC 701) that has the advantage of twice the storage space and a webcam. What exactly does one plan to do with these tiny UMPCs, I'm not sure. It surely isn't powerful enough to run full-fledged applications decently, but for someone who uses online applications (GMail, Google Docs, Zoho...) and Skype, it could be a formidable (and uber-light) tool

Update: A Russian site reports that the local Eee PC price is $500 (12000 roubles)

Not much on my mind right now. Today was a complete loss. So it goes. I've just been sitting around waiting for something to happen. I've basically been doing nothing , but I guess it doesn't bother me.

It was over ten years ago that a P90 was considered fast. Whilst that's not a long time in the grand scheme of human existance, it's a long time in the computing world. A very long time!

Having said that, 900MHz should be fine for all but the most processor-intensive tasks. But let's face it. You're not going to use this machine to do video conversion or audio re-encoding, are you?

I am writing this comment on my small, not so powerful and cheap pepper pad 3 as I am lying in my bed. This is a proof that there is a market for small UMPC devices. Often, the only thing we need is a Firefox browser. Perfect on a 7" screen, perfect on Linux.

Your talking out of your a**e matey, with a 900mhz processor the machine will be MORE than fast enough for all but the most graphic hungry (and often inefficiently written) apps...

For Christs sake it wasn't too long ago when a P90 was considered a "turbo nutter bast." and a 486DX was more than capable of running Doom and a shed load of other games...

I fully intend to get a EeePC 701 as soon as their released in the UK as a ultra-portable dev machine, and if I can't write software (and games) that run at a decent clip on a 900meg processor I think it's time to hang up my keyboard!
