As one of the Foleo engineers, I'm currently using a Asus Eee 1000H as
my primary netbook, with a Dell Mini 9 also available when I want a
smaller unit. I had an original Eee 4G for a while, but sold it at
the end of the summer. I've also got a OLPC unit that I got as part
of last year's Give 1 Get 1 event, but it's not used much.

Plus, I've got a couple of Foleo units too that I can try out from
time to time :)

So why'd you get the 1000 over the 2133?...

Processor. Screen. In a year the 2133 will be old hat. From my experience in gadget buying, buy the latest technology so you won't have the urge to replace it...

I ended up getting the Eee PC 901 with XP about a month ago. It has a 4GB C drive and a 8GB D drive. I found that only 4GB for C drive is limiting since some...

... I don't mean to pee in your Wheaties, but the 2133 has actually a higher-res screen AND a better processor (IMO). 1000 = 10" WSVGA (1024x600) resolution ...
