I remember the Eee PC. It was very cute! People always asked me how I

got used to it.
 
I get strength from the fact that Linus Torvalds at one point in time
also proclaimed that the Macbook air 11.6" was the perfect form
factor for him!

Still use my Eee 904HA (a 9" model) as a portable typewriter. Nobody
but *nobody* solved the laptop-hinge problem like Asus did on those
first couple Eee generations; solid as a rock.

(Do miss my 12" Thinkpad X201 - just the right size for me, but no
longer viable as a daily driver due to max. RAM issues; unfortunately,
with every single webpage chewing up 50+ MB even with scripts disabled,
you just end up swapping like nobody's business with only 4 GB; the 2nd-
generation i5 doesn't help, either.)
