I loved my asus eeepc even though I only had one GB. Had a full LAMP stack and it was great for airplane rides. I miss it- and wish there was something comparable today.

There is. The HP Stream and other things are like EeeePCs except faster, with more ram and more storage.

Acer make similar things. There are also things even cheaper from Light in the Box and other Chinese stores:

Actually, these things are so cheap that the it may well be part of what killed palm tops. Every time I look at a Palm top unless it's this kind of price it's too expensive. That and getting a keyboard and getting a shell on some Android device.

Those are rather larger. The eee was great for travel- even in economy seats it was convenient to use.
