Sweet. I might actually be able to use a little XP machine at these specs. People are probably going to make noise about the thing costing $549 (more than expected, I think), but really it’s still an incredible bargain and the hardware bump allays the concerns many had about getting an Eee. It’s got a gig of RAM now and 12 or 20 gigs of solid-state hard drive space (12 for XP, 20 for Linux), plus the new 9-inch screen at 1024×600. It’s already showing up outside the US, but us Yanks will be getting our hands on it come May 12.

Does anyone know if the keys are bigger on these? the keys were to small on the first batch for me.
From everything I’ve read, it’s apparently the exact same keyboard as on the 701 unfortunately.
thanks Doug, that is a shame. All they need is full sized keys.
to bad the battery doesnt last that long….
