I still have one in operating condition. It was the first laptop I owned with SSD's (dual SSD setup, 4GB SLC and 16GB MLC SSD. Also had SD card for expansion. The SSD's were unique in that they slotted into slots that were physically mini-pcie slots, but wired electrically with SATA, PATA, and USB. Having the SSD setup in 2007 was ahead of its time and really made the laptop feel faster than it was. Also being the size of a paperback book meant it traveled well. After the 901, Asus was sorta forced to kill the line as Windows sold more units than Linux and was a pig on drive usage (Microsoft stopped licensing XP as it was long in the tooth by this point). Rather than throw the dual SSD setup in, they moved to slow 250GB HDD's and sized up the keyboard/screeen to 10". Basically became a cheap and slow and not that much smaller laptop. Oh, another random thing the 901 had was lots of easy to access internal USB headers to wire devices to internally like additional drives and touch panel. This was something else removed in later models cost cutting.
