I’m still testing the Asus eee PC but so far I’m really impressed.
That being said, it is in a different category to the Zonbu, so its value to Zonbu is as a potential benchmark in a number of categories. And benchmarking against it should be a priority for the Zonbu team. It is a very well done product.
I’ll be posting more in the coming days, but in the mean time, as I expected, I’ve discovered the graphics power is substantially better than the Zonbu. Video and Flash playback is wonderful and advanced desktop effects appear to work well. The whole machine feels snappier than the Zonbu laptop (albeit a lot less usable with the smaller screen and tiny keyboard).
Check out this example of Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy running on a 3e with Compiz enabled. Very nice. Our Zonbus should have something like this.

Real life with the Zonbu Mini-PC 
This is good to know. I’m looking at a simple laptop to replace my 12-inch Powerbook and I’ve been wondering about the Eee PC. It seems to be all I need for when I’m out and about.
