I got one at the Micro center a month ago, no problems at all. I will bring it along to the next BLU meeting I attend. Pros: Small, light, (very light power brick) very sturdy compared to more expensive sub-micros comes with ssh already installed (just enter cntl-t then ssh host) web browser is quite fast compared to MSIE on a Windows box user interface not nearly so oddball as the XO Linux underneath, but readily accessible. Cons: Keyboard to small for comfortable touch-typing Small LCD leads to very small terminal characters and scrolling Neutral: Asus missed the chance to use super power-saving components like the XO Overall, I would say very well done.
