Thanks Nick, It was a typo!
Will this model possibly come pre-installed with Widows XP??
I think the Eee 900 will come with a Win/XP CD
Hi!
I saw some specs of the machine an apparently there will be at least:
*at least 2 SSD sizes 12gb and 20gb
* Processors are confirmed to be Intel Atoms (no info about the clock speeds though).
* 2008 Q3 there should also be versions with WiMax and hsdpa connection capabilities.
* There will be 2 OS options, WinXP or Linux (no info on the effect in pricing).
