I have just been overseas and testing the new MSI Wind U100 mini notebook. Very nice little unit. Atom 1.6gig processor, 2 gig Ram, 80 G HD.

A unit well worth looking at. Runs WIFI & Bluetooth, and Full XP (home) included). About $670.00 inc.

Glad you're happy with it! :D
Some weren't, so it's good to hear of other options with a little more grunt, thanks for the recommendation Team Piggy. :)

Yeah I am very happy with my eee too.
I reckon I will upgrade to one with a bit more speed and storage though as the price comes down.

I've been coveting the eee pc since playing with one at Jb hifi.

What do you people who own one, use it for? Do you also use a desktop or larger laptop for some things?
