The cheap PC/notebook market is really strange. It gets hyped, but not many people buy it. Asus had a burst of success with the eee, but steam is starting to die and asus realize it doesn't make that much money, so they are massing much more expensive things under the eee name. Also the $400 notebooks we saw last year and early 08 are all but gone. Though for $600 you do get dual core and 3gb ram. Computers should have never dropped below $500. It makes charging $200 to get them fixed look really retarded.
