there good and all that but my question is they use solid state disks ie flash cards and flash cards only have a certain amount of cycles of life until they die does this put you off buying one or not, the reason why i ask is because one of my Colleagues at work is offering me an asus eee 901 1gb 20gb for £200 what do you think?!

The time where that was an issue is long past. Hundreds of thousands of cycles will be way longer than you'll want it.

HDD's in normal computers only have a limited number of cycles too. However, the netbook will last much longer than you need it to!
