An update about the EeePC.

Best Buy is offering the Windows version of the EeePC in either black (stores and online) or white (online only) casing. As before, the EeePC is available only in the 4G (4 GB flash SSD) configuration and runs on a 900 MHz Intel Celeron M processor and 512 MB of DDR2 memory. The EeePC comes with a 7” screen (800 x 480 pixel resolution) as well as integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity.

Last week, Asus announced its second-generation EeePC, which has an 8.9” screen (1024 x 600 pixel resolution), SSDs with 12 or 20 GB capacity as well as a 1.3-megapixel webcam. The new EeePC continues to use Intel’s 900 MHz Celeron M processor for now, but in the future will come with an Intel Atom processor that is suppose to give much better battery life.

I was planning on buying an EeePC for just general convinces, but I think I'll wait for the changes/upgrades to be mostly over before I purchase one. It would be nice to have something small I can pack around to use during school breaks and long trips.
