The Eee PC has been a minor miracle - minor in size at least. It has taken the relatively unknown name of "ASUS" in the notebook market in the US (and the world really) and put it on the lips of the masses. The tiny, easily accessible design appeals to more than the enthusiasts and gamers that might know ASUS from their motherboard or graphics boards and has landed on the page of the New York Times, Fortune Magazine and more.
To be fair, this trend was started before the original Eee PC's introduction with ASUS' entry into brick and mortar stores like Best Buy. But to see the scene at ASUS' relatively small booth at this past CES in Las Vegas, with camera crews floating around pushing "minor" journalists like myself out of the way, you could clearly tell the Eee PC meant much more to ASUS' success than you might at first have guessed.
