Sorry to come late to this party. I work with a guy who just bought a EeePC and I was lucky enough to get a chance to play around with it the other day. I would characterize it as an accessory. The best reason to have it is that for 399.00 you don't need to tote a heavy laptop around, heck the EeePC fits in a large coat pocket. I could do real work on it, OpenOffice, etc, but I could not see myself working on it for long periods. I did not play around long enough to "break" out of the GUI LINUX interface and play at the command line, but I was pleased with the experience. I think I would purchase one, but would like to compare to other candidates. I am interested in trying and XO before I decide what to get.
