Cloudbook - EEE competitor

[dvandom]

The Cloudbook. Same basic size, cost and weight as the EEE. Uses a traditional hard drive, though, so it has 30G instead of 4G...but loses the benefits of the solid-state drive (durability, less power requirements for drive access). Still, competition is good....

Interesting; same weight and potentially batttery life (5 hours) but a 30G disk. Huh.

However, that 30G disk does require more power to run, so A) the battery life would be a lot shorter in serious use than the EEE, and B) an EEE that's about to go flat can still access memory while a Cloudbook might not have enough oompf for that one last filesave.
