ASUS 8.9" Eee 4GB PC Netbook Computer with Linux - Black : Target

After cristina's review of her mini computer I had to have one. I decided to go cheapy cheap because I don't need storage on it and I don't want to be afraid to bring it places with me. So far I love it but it's definitely going to take some time to touch type on it.

If you aint using linux you aint shit! The Eee PC makes it easy to learn, easy to work and easy to play. It’s the ideal netbook for anyone who wants anytime access to digital content in a highly portable, highly affordable package. The Eee PC’s ultra-compact design makes it a super-light 2.18 lbs. The large 8.9" screen is easy to view and is protected by ASUS’ exclusive zero bright dot guarantee. The wide multi-touch keypad is comfortable to use. The Linux operating system comes preinstalled and it’s loaded with more than 50 useful applications for gaming, entertainment and communication. For example, OpenOffice is preinstalled for when you need to be productive. The Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g) connects you automatically to Internet hotspots. Convenient, built-in flash memory with 4GB of storage means you don’t have to save files to your hard drive. Handling digital images, movies and music, and accessing Internet radio are easy, and a built-in camera helps you keep in touch with office, friends and family. With no moving parts, the state-of the art Solid State Disk is designed to stand up to the wear-and-tear of traveling. Storage can be upgraded via the built-in SD card slot. The Eee PC includes 3 USB 2.0 ports, a memory card reader, a built-in microphone and speakers, audio jack and 4-cell battery.

Something I seriously want to play with...

Positives: Small, light, and inexpensive; solid-state hard drive is fast and efficient; well-thought-out preinstalled software package.

Possible Drawbacks: Cramped keyboard; very little hard drive space; low screen resolution.
