You can see a photo of it in <a href=\"http:\/\/crave.cnet.com\/4335-1_105-6576690.html\">CNet&#8217;s Crave area<\/a>. The Eee&#8217;s specs look good: Under 2 pounds, 7 inch LCD display, runs Windows XP (XP is the new Windows 93SE, a stable OS that may never disappear \ud83d\ude42 or Linux, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitimes.com\/systems\/a20070820PD203.html\">priced between $200 and $370<\/a> in the US.
