Leaked: ASUS Eee PC 1018P, 1016P, & 1015P Netbooks

Seems Asus is keeping there monopoly of this market clear to me. These systems also seem decent compared as well to previous, and even some current models. I just am wondering where this market is going to go when the tablets start hitting it hard.

Not sure either, I feel as though once the computer gets to a certain size it becomes unproductive.  I wouldn't be able to use a netbook because those keys drive me mad (too small).  I figure touchscreens/tablets will take the place of the netbook, but the notebook/laptop will remain.

I always figured one would be too small for me to deal with as well. I was pleasantly surprised when I had the opportunity to use a MSI Wind for a week, last week. I found it to be capable and easy to use. So, I may bite and get one for when I go on road trips.

I found out the same thing realneil. I have big hands and fingers so I assumed they would be no use to me. However; I have on several occasions over the last year repaired a friend of the wifes 10 year old boy's netbook. It is an HP mini as well as of the smallest type I have seen. Why it is not as easy to use as a full sized unit, I can use it fine which was a surprise. I figure I could use one of the 10 inch ones totally with ease. Right now though I really do not know if I am going to get one. I am going to watch the tablet's to, and see where they all go. Then I will make my decision, I think for this use pattern a tablet would be better, but the unit functionality of it would have to be good as well as the capabilities of the hardware inside.

the 10" net book has a 93% keyboard. there not all bad. I would love to get one of the aluminum asus

The newer ASUS Eee PC 1008KR has Express Gate Instant-On OS, which is what we expected Google's OS to be. You can simply turn on the netbook/laptop and be surfing, checking e-mails, etc within a few seconds.
