It's even smaller than the EeePC but will probably weigh as much if not more due to having a HD. Nice to see some competition developing in this new ultra-small super cheap notebook category.

I was considering getting an EEEPC next year. I might just hold off on that. These look like they'll be even nicer.

Looks interesting. First impressions:

I wonder if they'll get a modem to work with it - so far the Eee is w/o.
I wonder how badly the HDD will kill the battery.
I wonder how the C7 wil perform.
I wonder how difficult it is to get rid of gOS and put something else on.

Just found out that this is actually an Everex re-branded Packard Bell Easynote XS
