2. It's weird isn't it... because even Asus seems to be moving away from that magic £200 price point. I think the Wind looks great, but I agree that the prices are starting to sneak too high.
Once Acer has announced its new Eee rival and when the Dell one is on the shelves, there will hopefully be enough competition to drive prices back down again.
Maybe MSI and HP etc are just trying to make a bit of money now before the big price crash?
1. Is this the pricepoint though? For my money a £200 asus eee feels like a secondary machine that I'll take on the train with me, I'm only looking for browsing, email and some basic wordprocessing and spreeadsheet work, but £330 feels just a little bit less disposable
