Shame still no optical drive. It would only add slightly to the one-inch thickness, and cost next to nothing – though it would end up looking exactly like a Wii. A real missed trick compared with latest Shuttles, Dells etc. They can get away with it on a netbook because that's really a memory stick with a screen, but not on a machine that's going to see more general desktop usage, need commercial apps or multimedia CDs installed etc.

About CDs and DVDs, I think that they are past technology. They screw with ease, have fixed capacities. are slow and they can't be directly written. SD cards will soon replace them, once they become cheaper and easier to produce.

With the ability to attach the eee box behind a monitor using the VESA mount, I prefer to have an external USB DVD player rather than a built-in.

One of the biggest advantages of an ARM processor is super-low power usage. If you're plugging it in anyway, you can use a dirt cheap Celeron, get pretty low power usage, and have the ability to run Windows or a wider selection of Linux distros and apps.

Definitely one of the better moves business-wise for the company. Celeron's have always been a reliable make for me as a power user, and I am sure they will continue to do so into the future

Im wondering what kind of processing power this thing is capable of, any ideas?

Ive used Intel exclusively for all my gaming and computing needs for years, but the Celeron market just seems to be getting stronger and stronger. If the processors continue to upgrade their quality and out-perform the Intel based ones, then it will be a no brainer to make the switch, I will definitely stay posted.

It looks great.. but it would be even better if it had an optical drive.

Agree with your points. Have you ever try it? Is it really convenient to be used for typing? Since I found out the keyboard is so small. But, I rather to have internal DVD than external, since I often forget to bring external DVD. Do you know what cccccc is? Then fill out the survey on http://www.keyr.com/analysis/cccccc.html

Just one small question, how fast is their product? They just mentioned something about the processor but never give the fact about the speed. I guess, they are not as fast as eiaculazione precoce.
