I saw these laptoys today at the local supermarket here in Dubai ( Carrefour ).

They have the price of 1499 DirHams ( DHm ) about £200 I think.

I already have a couple of eeePC's but the ACER looks better and also seem to havea slightly better display.

Still nice tho'

Upmarket (price wise at least) "tat bazaar" feebay has a lowest 'buy it now' price of $350.

Original 'micro screen' eeepcs are selling for $300.

Will you still get a $99 cash back from ACER to make this EVEN cheaper? Are you listening ASUS and do you even care?

Price War you say? Lovely, lovely.. *rubs hands*

I got one today. My prime purpose is to learn about Gnu Linux , this is the first lesson.

The keyboard driver is configured incorrectly.

Five characters appear from the wrong keys : \ from # , # from £ and Euro from Alt Gr 5 ; @ and " are swapped.

Six characters ar marked and don't appear at all : £ & * ( ) and the broken | .

So far I can find no easy way to rectify this, there is no directly accessible keyboard nationality setting.

That will be a keymap setting. In any case, if you want to "Learn about linuks!" you should install a normal distribution anyway. Any i386 distro will run. The keyboard worked correctly out of the box with Debian here,.. which is rare with laptop keyboards.
