|  Subject: Eee PC  Sun May 04, 2008 4:28 pm | |
| I am totally getting the Eee PC 900 when I have the money/when it comes out. It looks really, really convenient for travel, as well as cheap, and functions well for it's size. I wouldn't want it as my main computer, but it's still a handy little thing.
What is the Eee PC? It's like a tiny computer, but isn't exactly a notebook. The original Eee PC wasn't able to support Windows and had limited space and general grunt, but the Eee PC 900 looks to have overcome the major shortcomings without losing the original idea of the product. And the good news? You can get either the Eee PC or the Eee PC 900 for about in between $400 or $500 dollars (aussie dollars). I'm freaking excited about it, mainly because I have a forty-five minute commute a day (so an hour and a half in a car per day) and it would be fantastic to be able to work in the car. Which is the whole purpose of the Eee PC to be able to travel.
Thoughts on da Eee PC? |

| I saw something similar - didn't find out it's name - when I went to the computer store to order my compie. The one I saw was very cute. ^.^ The lady at the store was explaining it to me, but I was more fangirlling over the little keyboard and the little touchpad XD
Jack, I think it'd be lovely for you ^.^ What with your massively long to-school time. And for staying after schools it's be awesomeful too.

| | Gah. The Eee PC would suck beyond belief for any game, except like, tetris (boring). That's what a "proper" computer is for. :D |

| Well... you're being timed, and that always makes me really iffy if I can't use a mouse >< It's like solitaire in that I wanna try and get the best time possible.
Freecell I can leave open all day if I want to.
