| A few weeks ago I came across an Asus Eee PC. I'm pretty sure most of you have heard of it. I'm thinking about buying it but I'm not sure if I should. For starter, the notebook is pretty small therefore it's convenient to carry around and it also has wireless networking. But I wonder if it run smoothly. Please give me some advice. Thanks ![]() |

| First of all here is a screenshot that shows the screen of the Asus Eee Pc: Screenshot (link) The Point is, the Eee PC is not Windows based it comes with Linux pre installed, so if you need windows for whatever reason (some certain Application or anything else) you have to buy a copy of windows xp (vista is not able to run on the Eee Pc. If you do not need windows then the Eee Pc might be the right choice. But also remember the limited disk only 8 Gb max. that is not that much, if you want to listen to some music on your journey or if you want to watch some movie. Really 8 Gb is not that much. I personal feel no need for an computer like the Eee Pc, the only thing I would consider to buy is the iphone, because it offers the same space, also an non windows operation system and so on. But that is only my opinion. Regrades Snoop1990 |

But anyway, no. I don't think the Eee PC is really good value for money. It's great for third world countries or very poor families though. |

| Isn't the eee pc really cheap at a price around 300 usd . I recall reading it on the magazine. It is suitable for younger kids. Or you can mod the Os yourself by getting SLAX-Linux which is live cd for only 200 MB a Operation System include broswer, word editing... |

| I noticed some of you just mixed up the same things like I did. The third world pc called XO-1 is not the Asus Eee Pc ! For a fully detailed comparison, you might want to read this blog entry ! Tech Weekly: Blog Series: Third World Pc's Part 1 Asus Eee PC vs. OLPC XO-1 |

| Lucky you ! ... I really love the iphone but I am just a poor student, I do not have that much money to spend on a phone (still use my old Sharp GX30) ... :-( |

![]() But I do not think so! The point about the iphone is, it already has some of the most beautiful technologies but there are still some errors. So maybe it is no bad I idea to wait a year or two and then when they release a new model we get improved features and so on. But this is off topic, we should focus on the Asus Eee Pc again ! |
