Why compare apples to oranges?

The EeePC is great for what it is.  No-one has claimed that it is a
substitute for a main laptop or desktop.

The advantage of its small size is that it is light, readily portable,
easily fits into a ladies handbag, is about the same size as a Harry Potter
book and introduces its owners to Linux.

As to pricing, it is cheap enough but looks even cheaper in American
dollars.

Cheers
