Before accidentally happening upon a page showcasing the EEE, I'd never imagined I could get an ultra-portable PC for £200ish (I know there's a thread on this forum that I should've read months ago!). At this price point, I'm quite interested!
I've got a 3 year old 17" Fujitsu-Siemens that's been slightly updated (160GB HDD, 2GB RAM plus a couple of new, stronger batteries) and will hopefully cover my PC needs for the next 1-1.5 year till I buy a proper, high-end desktop, but something like the EEE would be fine about 80% of the time, and save me from carrying (and further abusing) the FS.
I need the following:

- USB
- SD or microSD reading capability (including High Capacity). If it comes with a small hard disk (as the EEE does), the ability to install programmes on an SD.
- At least 512 MB RAM (preferably 1GB or at least the possibility of expansion)
- Wi-fi
- Not an Apple product/OS. Linux is fine (I have no experience of it but I'm interested in learning), as are Windows.
- Capable of delivering reasonable quality audio (reasonable as in not much worse than what you'd expect from a normal laptop or HDD MP3 player), and ideally equipped with 3.5mm (or even mini-USB) input for headphones and mic (for VOIP).
- Under £250 (€400, $500) and available in Europe (would consider something that I can buy in HKG, as I will be there soon).

Is the EEE the most reasonable choice, or have you got anything else to recommend?
