I was thinking about getting this EEEPC. The 900 is one generation
behind the EEEPC 901, Dell, Sylvania, etc and reports are that it's
SSD is very slow in comparison. I don't actually know any of the
people that have said that, just picked it up from reviewers here and
there.

BTW, the 900 w/ 16G SSD is $349 at Tiger w/out a rebate.

My friend has the Dell and it is a very slick machine. Makes you want
to go buy one when you play with it.
