Not Everybody Loves My New Little Laptop

Interesting article from internet.com about the Asus EEE PC:

The Most Hated Company In the PC Industry: "The source of ire is a tiny laptop called the ASUS Eee PC. This open, flexible, relatively powerful, and very small laptop is notable for one feature above all: It's price. The Eee PC can be had for as little as $299. (Go here to read the reviews -- they're all positive.)"

Actually, I think Asus only broke the barrier - there are other companies with copycat mini-computers at comepetitive prices almost ready to hit the market - among them, Intel's Classmate PC for kids.
