does upping the CPU cause any further heat issues?
wow, this thing is fuckin' ace with a little cleanup
pretty sturdy, too
easy to toss in a manpurse and lug around, weighs next to nothing
asus >> apple
Personally, I'm waiting for the msi wind myself, or to see what dell cooks up. I like the bigger keyboard and 80 gig hd on the wind. I will be getting some mini notebook for my "Triumph Goes Back To School" adventure this fall fo sho, tho.
Prole/lyte- what kind of battery life does the lil' eee get?
A processor alone cannot provide performance that out-paces the eee. I mean its neat its better, but lets be serious here. What kind of performance differences are you expecting to see?
What the fuck is so special about SSD? Granted I don't think I would ever cram a bunch of shit on a sub-notebook, but having the option is nice. And the Wind uses the Atom processor, which is pretty much universally held to be better than what the eee is using.
TVC (or MAF or Prole), what about the keyboard on the 900? I assume that's the one that Prole got, I hated the keyboard on the 700. My hands aren't honkin' huge or anything, but is the damn keyboard at least a little bit bigger than the 700s? Also, how's the battery life?

You'll have to ask Prole. I'm waiting until June when the 901s are available. And although I'm not expecting much impressive, I'm curious to see what Dell brings. New product or no, they have stepped up their quality in the past year.
Also worth mentioning that Apple's WWDC is in early June. Although things have been largely quite on the non iPhone-rumor front, word has been bubbling up about a larger iPhone/tablet/MID. I know, it's a rumor and it's vague, and it's Apple so it will be pricey, but I'm curious.
What be you going to school for?

To take over the world, of course. I can better advance the Socialist Agenda if I have a degree.
Kidding. I've decided to go back and get my poli-sci degree. I was shocked to see that most of my credits from way back when actually transferred, but I'm opting to take certain classes again because I've slaughtered a lot of brain cells in the interim. We'll see how dumb I've gotten when I have to write my first paper. I think I'm re-taking an entry level English course, poli-sci course and taking Spanish, Algebra and Communications my first semester back.

I wanted the 7 inch EEE because I wanted something this small. 9-10 inches is approaching normal size, and I have a MacBook for that.
Looking from above, with the 900 on the right, you can immediately see it is a little deeper than the 700. The difference is around 7mm. They exactly are the same width, and, at the highest point (where the hinge is), they are also identical. However, due to the speaker repositioning and a slightly thicker screen, the front edge of the 900 stands proud of the 701 by around 3mm

Plus the fan is so fucking loud on the MacBook

What have you been doing with it? Mine doesn't get loud very often.
despite the fact that i am a total homo since i bought the pearly white one (all over my tits and face), i am really liking it. i shoulda held out for the 900, but wtf, this gets the job done great. BUT WHY DIDN'T I BET ON BLACK

yeah, the 900 is the same form factor, but with a load more screen real-estate.

So what kinda games can you play on this?
Thanks for all the tips guys, I got an the 700 EEEPC a few weeks back but I haven't done installed any APPS on it except for EEctl and upgrading the memory to 2GB.
Lytedge, get the emobile stub thingie. 7.2MBps wireless connection everywhere (well, almost).
The company is called E-mobile. (emobile.jp) Monthly charge is 5800 yen (no cap), but they have cheaper plans with monthly bandwidth caps. Their area coverage is expanding very rapidly. I was in Hakone the past weekend and I was surprised by the number of areas with coverage (Yamanaka-ko, Ashino-ko etc.) http://emobile.jp/area/area.html
