Asus eee PC vs Asus eee PC

[ghosthunter]

Nga pala, why can't this (eeePC) use a regular notebook HD instead of expensive and rather smallish (capacity) SSD?

Less moving parts means less stuff to go wrong. It also takes less internal space. And the initial eee PC model took advantage of the cheap prices of solid state memory. The new model just took from the first model and improved in places where customers suggested ways to make a good product even better.
