It's a MacBook Air, No It's an Eee PC 1008HA
Excuse my Freudian slip, but I couldn't help but think that the new ultra-thin Eee PC netbook by Asus has a striking resemblance to the MacBook Air. Just launched yesterday, this tiny device weighs 2.4 pounds, offers a 10-inch screen and is 1-inch thick, which is smaller than the Air on all accounts. No word on a release date just yet, and rumors are swirling that it could cost around $650 .

Are You Ready For Ultra Small Laptops?
As adorable as I find Asus's EEE PC and Everex's Cloudbook as dreamy and light as a MacBook Air, I just have no need for an ultramobile PC. The Air has more memory than the two former petite PCs, but its lack of an external drive exempts it from ever becoming my main computer. As nice as it would be to travel with a tiny laptop, I couldn't leave my full-size, powerful laptop at home.
EEE PC: The Other, Other MacBook Air Alternative
So I gather that most of you weren't that impressed with yesterday's suggestion of the Everex Cloudbook as a MacBook Air alternative. A lot of you commented that the Cloudbook was shall we say, unattractive. Meet Asus' EEE PC if you haven't already: This mini PC is also teensy and Linux-based, and definitely beats the Cloudbook in appearance (though the Cloudbook is supposed to come out in "female colors" very soon).
