Who needs a overpowered, Vista-riddled, 1hr battery life low-quality laptop for 300-500 quid when you can have one of these lovelies for two ton or so.

I dont need a mobile DVD writer and f**king dual cores, i just want a little thing to throw in a bag in case i need it while out and about.

These companies are gonna make out like bandits.

Do you mean laptots or desktots?

On a more serious note

How are we going to pressure ASUS into re-installing Eee PC chick 1.0?

Paris, as a poor substitute...

Alert

Merkin is already used on this site to refer to our trans-atlantic cousins. You'd have to be very careful that the context made it clear which definition you intended.

Intel need to get themselves an Atom Girl.

And then maybe get her to wrestle Asus Girl.

In a paddling pool full of jelly.

In bikinis.

Oh yeah.
