Besides being somewhat faster (and larger & draining battery faster), the base model Eee has 4x more RAM than N8x0 (512MB vs. 128MB).

OOo is real a RAM hog, especially with more complex documents. > If I had known how little of the potential of the N800 was being > realized, I would have opted for the eee PC instead.
