There's a _lot_ of models of Eee PC.

Original 2G Surf, 4G, 701, 900, all had Celeron CPUs of ~900MHz (some
down-clocked to ~600MHz). They also had their SSD as a combination of
small soldered in chips on the main board, or mini PCI-e cards.

I have owned 701s, 900s and my wife has a 1000. They are/were okay,
but I don't think I'd buy one now. The 1.6GHz CPU is quite long in the
tooth now, much better CPUs are available, but mostly not in netbooks.

The Toshiba AC100 looks 'interesting' (an ARM based device).

Cheers,
Al.
