Considering the success of Linux laptops like the Eee, how long until someone brings out a non-x86 variant?

Are there processors out there that would be as faster, cheaper and more power-efficient?

There's a lot of cheap low-power ARM-based chips out there. PDAs and phones already run on them and Linux is already ported to pretty much every major chip family, if not individual devices. The clock speeds don't tend to be as high, though.

You should check out the latest ARM 11s. Close to 1GHz clock speed...
