Asus EEE laptop

Whoa... got my hands on one of these today and was just amazed at how it all looked and worked. And a fraction of the spec needed for XP, let alone Vista.

I'm typing this now on my new EEE - huzzah for eBay!!!

EDIT: Here be pictorial goodness...

My MiniBook, named by the kids as MiniBob (that class has got a real thing about the name Bob)...



And just to show how tiny it is, I sat it on top of my 12.1" Vista laptop...



I can't fault it, I really can't - it was loads easier to connect this to my modem as it picked up my connection details straightaway (Vista, are you listening?), same with my Skype account etc.

I found out yesterday that Stephen Fry has one of these!

nice laptop, i am on vista right now, the only trouble i have with it is that everything tends to need more ram etc, which most would expect to be the other way around

Not surpirsed, tbh. My Vista laptop eats memory. I had to have it upgraded to 2GB RAM just so it wouldn't keep crashing. It still doesn't run The Sims 2 (1.66GHz Intel Core Duo, indeed). Still, it's OK as a work machine.

the white one is cute, looks like a ds. i sure i seen them in black thogh.

Yeah, my kids often say it looks like a big DS. And you have seen probably seen them in black. They're available in other colours, too - probably to appeal to the younger market. Now that TweakEEE is out there, you can do a bit more with it, too...
