New Notebook From ASUS Called “Eee” PC Uses Solid-State Drive. Nice that they announced it on my birthday (yes, I’m blogging this late). This is just what I have been looking for.

In addition to the N800, of course.  God I need Wimax – or the ability to inject packets on the N800.

Back the Eee 701. The one thing thats bugs me is the 3 hour battery life. WTF? It’s a what, 7″ screen? Flash hard drive? Where he hell is all that power going? Or did they just skimp on the battery? When =>3lb. notebooks can have 8+ hour real performance – with larger screens and real, mechanical, magnetic hard drives, something is very wrong with a very short 3 hour battery life. Maybe there will be an over priced battery option with more cells?

I can hope. Still, I treat notebooks as portable desktops and only use them around outlets – cause you never know when you’ll *really* need that battery – so the battery life isn’t a deal breaker. And prices of $200 to $300 are quite the opposite.
