I'm happy with my Aspire One, Linux edition. Even the small SSD is an advantage - it means I'm less likely to fill the thing with useless apps and it provides an incentive to keep a long-term store of important data elsewhere with only a minimum amount on the netbook. I guess the only think I would have liked is an up-front option to buy the machine with bigger batteries but otherwise the Linux-spec device. The retail cost of a new 6-cell (or even 9-cell) battery is scary.
The Aspire One is what the Eee 90x should have been. Asus need to take a good look at the specs and design it to a netbook price and miss off some of the bells and whistles. Also, 10" is starting to get a bit big, I think the 8.9" screens are about right for convenient portability.

I agree with Mike - where is she?
