I don't know if I can wait a few months more for the new revisions. I can carry this on the subway going and coming back from work. I don't know if a 13.3" Lappy would feel as comfy toting around. Now the only thing holding me back is the fact that the 4G solid state is solderd on and I'd like at least to have the ability to change it. If it is possible. I may just buy it! IS it really soldered on as it says so going by the info on this page? http://wiki.eeeuser.com/eee_pc_701#models
I may just do the 4g Surf and add a 8GB SDHC and 1Gb of mem.
BTW can anyone confirm if the new 2G Surfs have the memory soldered on as well...
I did a ton or research on these before I bought mine, but I didn't pay much attention to the surft talk since I was more interested in the non-surf ones. But it seemed to me that maybe a lot of people mistook having no panel on the bottom for the RAM not being upgradeable, when in fact you just have to take the EEEPC apart to upgrade the RAM. I'll poke around and see if that's the case.
