Laptop or Desktop — which are you?
f0dder:
Hm, I find laptops to have crummy keyboards and uncomfortable working positions - and I much prefer a 17" or 19" TFT to laptop-size displays (I'd find a 17", and probably even a 15", way too cumbersome to be decently portable).

Hardly. I am not the least bit cheesecake... more like doughboy. :-)
Cecebee:
Both. Only use the laptop when on the road though. Laptop just isn't fast enough for day to day use on the desk.

Asus - Eee PC - Pearl White:
comes with LINUX not windows but you could buy windows and install it.
on sale at BESTBUY for 399 plus S&H taxes and Recycle fee.
it is backordered so it would take about 2 weeks to get one.
I was doing reseach because I want something portable to write code.

Sweet! Though I imagine I'd have to get the Windows drivers from their website. Thanks.
However, I'm not sure this is the beastie you want to write code on... the keyboard is teeny tiny, it's only got a 4GB flash drive (depending on your dev environment, this might be pushing it) and it tops out at 900 MHz.
I think it'd be dynamite for writing haiku or ransom notes (or ransom notes in haiku) but for serious development? Nah.
