pics as promised.
I must say the finish is spectacular, shame Asus havent used the same material around the screen, but the slick black is very comfortable to rest your hands on and makes the EEE a real looker, untill you get greasy fingerprints all over it, but a handy cloth is provided to deal with that.
The keyboard is good, glad i went with the 1000, any smaller would be pretty hard to use, still getting used to a lappy keyboard over a full PC one, and the right SHIFT button is a bit of a pain (keep hitting UP instead, takes time to re-learn where to put my fingers!)
Its not exactly featherweight, but its light enough to be pretty easy to carry around, even if you bundle a cd drive with it too. very nice cover to protect it, minimalist but durable.
Multi-touch is great, still getting used to using it, it detects up to three fingers, you can rotate, zooom, and there is even a utility to change what functions are activated (and turn them off if they arent your thing). Amazed there arent more lappys with this on yet!
The atom seems punchy enough so far, though i do have a pretty pristine XP copy running, not done a lot with it yet so i may sing a different tune in 6 months time.... i doubt it though, this is mainly for Internet and Office use, so it should be right on the money!
Oh and its a 6600mAh battery, for those who were wondering.
