Asus Eee -- strongly thinking of getting one

I'm seriously looking into these machines which seem to be getting very good reviews. Here's one on the earlier (and smaller) 400 (4 GB SSHD, 512 MB RAM) where there seems to be (or, at least, have been) a wifi connection problem.
Another review concerns the 901 (20 GB SSHD, 1 GB RAM) and goes into a lot of detail.
I'm currently looking at this model and it's cost (including delivery) to me would be about €425.
This is a guide on using a USB key to install Ubuntu (possibly on an Eee -- as it doesn't have a CD drive).
