As mentioned on my FAQ, I am bringing an ASUS EEE with me. It is a tiny laptop with a solid state disk that is less likely to be destroyed by bouncing around on a motorcycle for hours each day.

I originally bought the EEE 701 but was not happy with it because I could not get used to the 800×600 resolution. As soon as the EEE 900 came out, I jumped at the chance to get the same laptop but with not only a much larger display (res wise) but also with 20GB of solid state disk as opposed to 4GB. Awesome.

NewEgg hooked it up today and here are a few photos comparing the sizes. Specs are one thing, but it is another thing to see them side by side. 900 in White, 700 in Black.

As you can see, the 900 20G (same size as the 900 12G) screen has 1024×600 as opposed to 800×600 in a case that is about the same size. Those 224 pixels in height really matter! Screen pics to come later.
