[CoLoCo] Looking for a laptop/notebook

[Chomafin]

I've personally been looking at the Asus
eeePC<http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=eeepc&x=0&y=0>.
They run from 299 - 499 depending on  what you are looking for. These things
seem to work out great as long as your not wanting to play games, and what
your requirements are, seems it would work just fine.
Here is a good community wiki model comparison
sheet.<http://wiki.eeeuser.com/eee_pc_701#models>

1. Estimated battery Life : 2.8 - 3.5 hrs
2. 256 for Surf; 1gig for the 8gb model; most are expandable
3. Screen is a low res VGA (640×480) @ 30 fps

Biggest problems people seem to have is either due to the screen size (7in)
or the keyboard size.  To me it seems like the perfect couch surfing
machine.  And to top it all off, it has Xandros Linux installed by default.
There is already a working Xbuntu project for it that includes compiz.
