my best friend has one and i use it all the time. Its REALLY awesome. very small and portable.. amazing battery life.. extremely fast because of it's solid state drive.. and its really handy and not expensive. I recommend ;)

That's the sound the monolith makes EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

that laptop is cool!!!!!!!!!!!

I have one, I NEVER used it though so I gave it to my gf.

It's an awesome little toy but it's nearly impossible for grownups to use it, the keyboard is SO tiny, difficult to type.

Anyways, they are cute, fun, neat, but dont think you can get any work done on them hehe

Great for airports layovers, or hotel lobbies etc :)

im gonna buy EEE soon....
now i use PDA with windows mobile 6

Tomud

thats where id use it for yes - to take along, I know working on a laptop isnt what I want, its to check mail, check support tickets etc when Im not at my desktop

thanks

so I went looking at a PC store

tiny tiny keyboard not sure if you can even type an email on there thats longer then 5 words, its cheap 300 euros but not sure its worth it

Linux and KDE. I'd buy it, if it was cheaper. I'm too cheap to pay money for such a worthless little thing, though. It's a bigger, fatter, less-software-for-it Palm.

exactly

decent keyboard and $250 like it is in the US and not $500 like it is here

white one looks horrible the glossy cover btw

Look carefully - some of them have HALF the HD and RAM, too. Some only have like 2GB/256MB; I think those are called 'Surf'. I looked into them about 3 months ago, and immediately dismissed them as a cute, but mostly worthless, toy.

the surf ones are with the small hd and no cam, I couldnt care less bout the cam but a 2GD hd minus Linux etc leaves nothing, youre right its worthless then.

the 4GB is what I looked at its approx $470 here and thats too much for a bigger PDA

Fuck that. That's not too far off from a real laptop.

Shit. I forgot a friend of mine taught me some Dutch back in '00-'01. I just went straight through the Dell site and after I read the prices, realized it was a different language.

If you get a real laptop, instead, send me some stroopwafels. :)

got one Im workin on now this EEE was just to put in my backpack or so cause its small

I had 5 packages stroopwaffles with me at the PHX forum always take them, if youre there next time lmk!

Nothing pleases webmasters like butter and sugar. :thumbsup

I want to install a PC into my car, primarily to log GPS tracks and capture images from a front and rear camera. Hmmmmm, maybe with a bit of hacking the EEE can do that.

YOU LIVE IN AUSTRALIA... uh... WHY BOTHER?

Geotagged picture logs of journeys into the unknown.

Plus it will capture dickhead drivers in suburban areas. Maybe I should start a shame site. :)

..then again, you could get lost in Alice Springs. If that happens, you'll want at least two cameras and a GPS. If you show up at night, go slow and turn off the headlights - I hear they still consider artificial light to be a thing of the devil.

he could have someone carry a red flag and walk before his car like they did a 100 yrs ago here :)

Alice Springs? Nah, I only have to drive 5 mins before I'm passing through uninhabited deadlands. :winkwink:

that looks cool. Once I'll buy a smaller one instead of my Acer

I am planning to get one coz it really is so portable :)

Waste of time...

Cool laptop...but i dont have one

my wife has a pink one she loves it.

Looks pretty good. But I prefer at least 12 to 13" screen. 8 is fine to watch movies, but not to work. Letters are too small for me.

i have the pink 4gb one.
i love it. its great to take to coffee shops to surf.
the only thing i don't like about it is the keyboard. its glitchy. but i think they fixed that with the newer ones.
