when the asus fff comes out - the eee's successor (I'm making up the name) then I might be interested in one for my daughter. A bit more memory, a modestly larger screen higher res, and I think it'd be great... once I install a decent OS (suse :-)
Aye ... and for myself, I'm fine with 7" or 8" or even 9" ... I just hope they trim down on that bezel. Likewise for the Z, I would love my C1000 even more if it has a consistently thin bezel all round. That's partly what makes Thinkpad, Sony Vaios, macbook & iTouch or iPhones that bit sexier.
The trick is having a useable keyboard, thin bezel, respectable screen, all in a handy form factor.
Good thingie going for the eeepc is that it is hot in the stoves and development is coming along aggressively while the Z is not available at all.
Agree. Thin bezel is a hallmark of aesthetic value on gadgets. The Eee PC, the Z, N810, most UMPCs all fail this.
But thinner bezel means more power for display, and cost of production, unless a newer and better and less power-hungry processor is used (this may probably come true for fff). And the keyboard is already maximally minimal (for real touchtyping), so reducing the bezel mustn't further trim down the keyboard.
Also remember what makes the Eee so hot is the magical price tag, as well as quite a reasonable battery life.
Of course, I'd definitely love to have a ggg, and more perfectly, a zzz, then I will finally retire my z.
