Default Asus EEE PC - any good ?

Been wanting something small and light to use when I'm out of the country for emails, internet, etc...

Looking at Asus EEE PC 900

It has built in wireless
Uses a solid state hard drive (don't need masses of capacity)
Weights only 0.99Kg

Are they any good or should I wait for the Intel Atom version ?

Edited to add, they now do an Intel Atom version!

Ive been using an Atom today an Acer one I think

Seems quite decent, although we just ordered an Elonex One for the Eldest (in bright pink too )

I've already got a powerful laptop for work - this one is just something light to take away with me and check emails. Seems to tick all the right boxes.

8 hours battery life (best case) is pretty damn good, compared to my dual core laptop from which I get an hour!
