I was looking at the EEEpc to replace my Palm and be more portable than my 12" PB (which my wife uses most of the time anyway). At the same time! But when it released at a higher price and with less stuff than originally advertised, I ended up with a new Palm. The TX with the infrared keyboard and all of the included software is just good enough. I know Palm is a dead-end platform and all.. but after 6 years, I found it hard to give up.
As to the MacBook Air... meh. I think our next "real" laptop might be a cheap PC laptop running Kubuntu.
