the ASUS EEE is supposd to retail for 199 USD or so. there was a 200 euro laptop on slashdot the other day. so is the lowest DELL with a discount or two - theyre saying the OLPC will cost this much anyways - theres no way they can really beat quanta/compal/asus at their own game, price-wise.. although perhaps they have an edge in software innovation (the EEE runs a trimmed down Linux)
