Well as you can see, I ended up buying it. What a cool little laptop! For the techy readers it has a 1.6ghz processor, 160gb hard drive, 1gb of DDR2 ram (soon to be 2gb), 10" LED backlit screen, and 7 hour battery. It weighs about 3lbs, and has a smaller footprint than a sheet of paper. Not bad at all!
ASUS also makes a 7" and a 8.9" Eee pc, but unless you have size 4 or smaller fingers, I wouldn't recommend them. The slightly bigger screen is just about perfect too, not too big that it makes the laptop huge, but not so small you get a headache when your using it. Here it is compared to my home setup...
Really shows how small the thing is, its about the height of a glass of water. If you have been borderline on getting a new laptop, check these things out, I really love mine!
I've been drooling over the netbook form factor for a while now. That 10" screen size does look perfect. Pair it with an external USB card reader and it's perfect as an image tank on the go. me = jealous!
ReplyDeleteIt actually has a built in SD card reader, so if you shoot one of the SD card cameras your good to go. I wish it had a compact flash reader instead :(
