Don't suppose you could post a link to the guide you followed?

I used the guide from eeeguides.com

nLite: http://www.eeeguides.com/2007/12/this-tutorial-will-show-you-how-to-slim.html
Windows from USB: http://www.eeeguides.com/2007/11/installing-windows-xp-from-usb-thumb.html

Some people reckon the nLite on that guide is a bit too agressive. Use your own discretion when removing certain things as I heard some people had problems with sound/wifi drivers. If I didn't know what it was, I just left it in.
 
your better off with a USB IDE converter for installing XP only costs like a £5 and there rly useful. Installed off USB stick.. which went fine... ended up reinstalling later with USB IDE converter cable... :) win

btw there is very little faffing about installing from pen drive :)

You can replace the RAM upto 1gb very easily but it voids the warranty i.e. warrenty sticker is over the screws to the panel.

Internal SSD is apparently soldered to motherboard but you can jsut mount SD cards in the slot as a disk.

Im planning to get one in next week or so and my plan is to leavee the ram alone and use my creative zen 30gb as a USB disk as its always on me anyway.

a lot of people upgrade the storage in their mobile phone and then bluetooth it with a dongle to the eee ad this way you have more space on your phone and as its with you msot of the time you can access it on the eee.

just received my black 4gb eee today :D

no warranty sticker over memory cover just one that says eee pc, so i presume i can upgrade the ram and install xp

is the external dvd the way to go or external dvdrw?
 
Looks like it'll work out to be about £350 here, slightly too much for everyone to get excited about I reckon.
 
Very interesting link there about the new 900 - 8.9 inch 1024*600 screen is a massive improvement, and a 12GB model for 400 euros. Hopefully that'll work out around £300 but that really depends on availability since the prices of current models are inflated due to how scarce they are.

The link says more info tomorrow...

£300 would be good, but we always get stupid prices so it will probably be more like £350.
But even £300 is a tad expensive, since they are only changing the screen (apparently cost price is £15?) + SDHC card reader + 4GB SSD.

Engadget have some pics
7inch Vs 9 inch

9 inch screen

The screen looks much better, but it's a shame they had to make the whole unit larger to accommodate it :(

Main thing about this 7" 4G is because its such a small laptop, and cheap..getting bigger and more expensive isnt the answer, imo.
