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....

Well, neither the Cloudbook nor the EEE seem really intended to be anyone's primary computer...they seem more aimed at people who already have a desktop and don't want to spend too much to get fully functional laptopness. The Cloudbook could probably dual-boot, though, but XP might be a bit more than it can comfortably handle. The EEE comes with the option of loading XP on yourself, but at only 4G total, you'd need a very stripped down XP.
