$350.

I have no idea whether the thing will burst into flames if trying to play 720P video, or lock right up trying to play Flash files.

But the new Asus EE has a couple of things for for it that will make a lot of DS industry people scratch their chins and mumble, “Hmmmm….” Price and form factor.

For $350, in the US buyers get Windows XP, a 1.6GHz Atom processor, WiFi, a memory card reader, 1GB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive.
