And wow, they’re doing it really fast, too! It wasn’t so long ago when they first released the Eee PC. I read this blog that said the <a href="http://www.thefinestwriter.com/blog/asus-eee-pc-1004dn-first-eee-with-optical-drive/" rel="nofollow">1004DN may start a trend of netbooks with optical drives</a>. I wonder about that as well. Wouldn’t that be exciting? I think Asus is pretty dedicated to improving their products and giving us more quality choices. And wow, they’re doing it really fast, too!

“super multi disc drive that can read and burn a wide range of CD and DVD formats”

What DVD burner does not fit this criteria?

It's basically an under powered notebook with a low res screen and smallish keyboard. Bah! This is not a netbook in my mind, the optical drive puts it in notebook territory as does the price.

Maybe Dell will make their 10″ or 12″ with an optional slot loading DVD drive. That would be awesome.

If there was a netbook with a 720P screen, ION processor and slot-loading DVD drive, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Asus has truly lost it's way. It is a sad day. Bigger, heavier, more complex. Remind me how this is a good thing in a netbook please. What happened to the cheaper, smaller, lighter, simpler machines that we all knew and loved? I thought the Samsung NC10 was pushing the boundries of size, features and cost when it first came out. Tells you how much I know. Nearly $600? Asus has truly lost it's way. It is a sad day. Bigger, heavier, more complex. Remind me how this is a good thing in a netbook please.

OK, so I need to start making my “this is not a netbook” list:
- NO internal optical drive.
- <100% keyboard
- >8″ screen

But…
I think cheap low power processors will feature in the next generation of laptops, which will have pretty similar specs to netbooks…
