Eee PC
The Eee PC has been out since October 2007 but hasn’t gained much press coverage (at least I hadn’t heard about it until recently, and I ALWAYS try to stay in the loop of the latest gadgets and trends in technologies).
The compact laptop is Asus’ attempt to compete in the market of small-sized computers such as Apple’s MacBook Air. While I assume that the Air has more to offer because it is Mac OS, the steep price difference might make you want to consider the Eee PC. It seems to be a good product for the drastically cheaper price tag if compared to the Air. Less storage is one of the down sides of it but this seems to be the perfect solution for schools and educational institutions for a completely functional and light-weight portable computer. For those who travel a lot, the Eee PC (whose name comes from the campaign slogan “Easy to learn, Easy to work, Easy to play”) is a good option if you don’t want to pay through your nose for a MacBook Air.
The Eee PC comes in different models. colors, Windows or Linux and different prices, of course.
Might be worth checking it out.
HI
I have an ASUS eee PC with only 4 Mbytes of memory which is pretty restrictive, however, I have combined it with our own technology which allows me unlimited secure data storage as long as I have an internet connection. Perfect combination, small computer, easy to carry and unlimited secure data storage. I have access to all my data now wherever I travel and no heavy laptop to carry.
Man, where have you been ? Geeks have been talking about this (and its sisters) a lot this past year. Now Acer, Dell and Lenovo have similar machines (Acer Aspire one, Dell mini 9).
I have an Acer Aspire one and love it (1G RAM, Atom proc, 120G HD, runs Linux great, still has XP just in case), $350.
There are a few cheaper ones coming; I think they have lots of potential for schools, mainly for their price.
LOL, not sure where I’ve been. 🙂
Maybe I should resign my post as a geek.
From experience, what do you think of the EEEs?
