My two cents
There were 2 models in my netbook list: Eee PC 901 and MSI Wind. I was expecting for Linux version of Eee PC 901(which has bigger SSD) but was told that there is No Linux version of Eee PC in Malaysia by ASUS Malaysia. That’s very disappointing. They are expecting everyone to love Windows.
So, I turned to MSI Wind. It is almost perfect but the 3-cells battery(1.5 hours) is a letdown. The 6-cells version is not available yet in Malaysia (except the girlys Wind “Love Edition”).
In the end, I didn’t buy any netbook at the PC Fair. I shall wait for the MSI Wind 6-cells model or other coming-soon-netbooks.
For other netbook choices, CNET UK showed top 10 netbooks and CNET Asia picked the top 5 netbooks.
Will you buy a netbook, or you have got one? Please share with us.

No Linux version of EEE PC in Malaysia? If I ever to get one of these, probably I would use it only for online purpose and maybe simple editing of doc/html/php files. Thus, IMHO, for such task, to use Windows is kind of overboard.

Looks like MSI has a brand new netbook, MSI Wind. Got a nice video on MSI Wind for you folks. Check it out.
BTW, LiewCF Dot Com came up with some good price ranges for Asus Eee PC and MSI Wind in Malaysia. RM1,899 for one MSI Wind on Windows XP!?…
