I got a EEEpc! :D

After seeing they can have up to 7 hours battery life, I said to myself I NEED one! :D

The specs:
1.6Ghz Intel Atom processor
1GB DDR2 RAM
10" Screen (I believe)
160GB HD
Built in wireless, camera, SD card reader
and the best part, 5 hour battery life! :D

Compared to my old laptop. The funny thing is, this EEEpc has better specs than the bulky thing next to it! :D

I made this post on it, and typing takes a little getting used to, since the keys are significantly smaller. This thing is about the size of a peice of A4 paper when opened right out.

I like it! :D

I saw the touchscreen mod, and that would be DAMN cool, though I dont think I wanna blow my warranty a few days after buying it :-X

The touchscreen mod kit I saw was for the 701 model, I have the 900HA model, so i'm not sure if it will work.

I sell those at my work... We're an ASUS retailer so I get a discount on them  :D

I keep getting the urge to buy one, especially with all the info out on hacking them...

I just can't justify the expense (even at wholesale cost) for what really amounts to a toy more than anything... :-/

cool!

how much for the 900 model?




pS: yeah....i'd only buy it to watch videos (not pr0n, lol) while i'm travelling 6hrs. to the beach :)

You'd all probably know this, but it doesnt have a CD drive at all, so you's have to download everything, or get an external one/share it over the network etc.

This one ran me about $530AUD on discount.

One friend of mine got the 900 (4gb sd hdd with linux, so 512mb ram)

damn it is really HARD to get accustomed to writing on that little thing!

i didn't like the fact that there was NO desktop in that linpus suite, but wth, he bought it for 200 dollars :p



BTW, it is amazing how it can pick up wireless signals so well
