Asus is apparently building a laptop that will be cheap and make computer ownership as low as $200. This laptop looks like a good deal. It’s known as the EeePC and it should be available this fall.
It will have a 4GB flash hard drive and 512MB of RAM. With 802.11g wireless card installed as well as built-in web cam and microphone. Part of the reason that it is so cheap is because it is preloaded with a Linux OS.
