The ASUS Eee PC has been a runaway hit with the press and buyers looking for a strong dose of mobility, and the line gets a big boost today with a release of the first Eee PC's with Windows XP pre-installed. My review covers the hardware, which remains completely unchanged from the original Linux-based system, as well as what you can expect from the system while using Windows XP. The short of it: more flexibility and usability.
More of the same, but more appealing
The ASUS Eee PC may not be for everyone but with a new Windows XP version that maintains the same $399 price point it might find a way into your home whether you originally were interested or not.
Windows XP lives on!

With a Core 2 Duo T5450, 3GB of Samsung DDR2-667,an nVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTS 512MB and a 17" screen with a native resolution of 1440x900. All that in a package that weighs under 10 lbs.

Don't like the taste of Mac OSX, but still want something nice and light like the Macbook Air. Why not go with the familiar texture and taste of Windows? It's a Santa Rosa notebook, so it really isn't that hard to do, assuming you've got a USB optical drive to plug into it.
