  3. Off topic: stopping by, hope everyone can join The Philippine Issues writing project over at FilipnioVoices.com, FREE STICKERS and a lot of other prizes too. Including Free Flickr Pro Account

  4. Hmm… the Dell E also comes in 4g? I immediately thought it could go against the Eee PC 701 but the Dell offers more with bluetooth and a more powerful processor.

    But the thing is, I love my Eee PC and I wouldn’t consider replacing it just yet. It perfectly fits my lifestyle. It actually taught me to get back to the basics which, to my amazement, is all I really need.

  5. $299 hmm
    I better wait to see if it’s still at that price range when it comes out.
