Better design. Better & faster processor-Intel. Downside is 8G HD. But add a few thousand and you get a bigger hard disk. For the same price I would go for Acer Aspire One. Better design.

Though I wonder if they can get a decent Atom-based UMPC below P20k. If they can't, might as well fork out P20K for a full-fledged laptop. Personally had my hands on the Asus eee PC, was a bit disappointed coz of lack of processing power (i KNOW it's not supposed to playback those 1024x768 movies but ... =P) I second sylv3rblade - I want an Atom-based one too.
