Intel's Netbook
My buddy works for a US Based OEM, and showed me a sample of one of the products that will be hitting US shores soon. This thing is sweet, super portable. I estimate it weighs less than three pounds, and has a carrying handle. He told me it was designed by Intel and is for education. I got on it to check my email and it was running XP Pro like a champ. When he got up for a minute, I snuck some pics of it and checked out the specs. It has a 900Mhz Celeron, 512 Ram, 40GB HD, 9 Inch screen, wifi, and Ethernet. It seems to be about 7” x 9”x 1.5”. I asked him how much it was going to cost, and he said he didn’t know but would probably be around 400 bucks. Said it should be available in the US by June. At 400 bucks, should kick the eeePC’s ass.

I don't know about ass-kicking. By June, Asus will have a 9-inch version available with 8 to 12GB of solid state memory (far less than 40GB, but faster and less volatile). But I think a lot of folks would rather have more memory, and this Intel PC does look like a nice upgrade to the Classmate PC lineup.
Thanks for the scoop! This is an interesting twist to the OLPC + Intel saga.
that is one sweet laptop.

for style this pic gets 1 star. It's ugly. Asus EEE PC at least looks stylish.
So are you saying Asus eeePC is all good? I'm kind of considering in buying one.
