OLPC XO Laptop alternatives

Asus Eee PC 904HA, 8.9 inch, 1361 grams (3 lbs)
MSI Wind U90 (U90), 8.9 inch, 1200 grams (2.65 lbs)
Excelent keyboard, good quality build. Everything works! 3-cell Battery life gets a minus-point but apart from that - highly recommended.
Zoostorm Fizzbook, 7.0 inch, 1360 grams (3 lbs)
Not a consumer-focused design in our opinion. Much heavier than the Eee PC 900 and with 800x480 on the 9" screen, it will lack the productive screen space of the 900 too.
Asus Eee PC 904HD, 8.9 inch, 1417 grams (3.12 lbs)
Gigabyte M912X (M912X M912V), 8.9 inch, 1350 grams (2.98 lbs)
Using the Intel low-cost notebook platform, this could be a very good value challenger to other touchscreen convertibles like the VyeS37 and the Flybook V5. The battery capacity is good, the high resolution touchscreen, ExpressCard34 slot and 2.5" hard disk set it apart from the low-end netbooks that are available.
Kohjinsha SX3, 8.9 inch, 1200 grams (2.65 lbs)
Gigabyte M912M (M912M), 8.9 inch, 1350 grams (2.98 lbs)
A netbook with a difference. Despite the relatively heavy 1.35KG, this is a device you can use in some UMPC-like scenarios. The touchscreen is fun to use.
Having tested this device, we found it to be very fast due to the high-speed 160GB SATA drive. Battery life is near 3 hours with Wifi on. Touchpad good quality. 2GB upgrade easy. BT 2.1 was included on our test device.
CTL 2Go (E09L), 9.0 inch, 1360 grams (3 lbs)
Not a consumer-focused design in our opinion. Much heavier than the Eee PC 900 and with 800x480 on the 9" screen, it will lack the productive screen space of the 900 too.
HP 2133 Mininote (FF009AA), 8.9 inch, 1200 grams (2.65 lbs)
It's debateable that this is within the boundaries of the UMPC definition but at under 1.3KG it's definately a lighweight device. Attractive, semi-rugged and targeted at the education market.
The VIA C7-M at 1Ghz will be too slow for some but with the 1.6Ghz VIA C7 option it should make a very nice, portable and strong mininote.
ECS G10IL, 8.9 inch, 1200 grams (2.65 lbs)
Slightly bigger and better specification than the Eee PC indicates a different target customer and price. A possible competitor for the HP 2133
