Smartbook for $300-odd?
Asus seems to have this on-again, off-again attitude to the ARM-based
"smartbook" concept. Right now it's back on again <http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/352972/asus-to-launch-smartbook-in-2010>. No actual details on specs, but that can't be much over half what I paid for my Eee 701 two years ago. Lawrence D'Oliveiro |

If anybody could have changed my mind, it would be Nicholas Negroponte. But it appears he’s abandoned his dual-screen “XO-2” model <http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/OLPC-XO-2-cancelled-but-XO-1-75-planned-849585.html>. Lawrence D'Oliveiro |
