Asus EEEPC 701 4G with linux i bought in december 2007 (Celeron M 353, 512MB DDR2, 4GB SSD, 7" LCD)
the reason i bought the very first so called netbook, was that at the time people still had 1 computer and sometimes i needed a 2nd pc to work with, especially when the other i was fixing had the windows broken. When you have to go to 5-6 clients every day you need efficiency and this made sense.
about 5 years ago i went to a lan party with this netbook, everyone tought i was crazy but it served very well with a external hard drive and played 12hs straight of ut99, age 2, soldat, starcraft and counter strike.
Sadly i dont use it too much today, in part because today we have many ways to connect to internet and some other tools that make the work much easier, plus its slow as hell due to the soldered 4GB SSD (the 900 has the mini pci-e for the SSD, aside from that is the same specs with a 9" lcd, with a 32GB SSD this netbook is WAY faster than the 701)
