EEE PC

[Partial]

I bought an EEE PC off of new egg today. I got the black 2gb surf model. I'll give a review once I start to use it.

I figure I will use that for a few months and then get the Mac sub-notebook in the summer when they offer the free iPod with it.

Sweet...can't wait to hear what you think. I'm curious what you think about the interface tweaks they made to the OS.

What the hell are you guys talking about?

Okay, but what's a new egg?

I'm interested in reading your review as well. I need a new cheap laptop for work while on the road and to use my wireless network card in for getting email.

After checking out the EEE it looks like it's something I might want to get. A lot of the user reviews were high on the little laptop. I just wish they offered one with more than a 8 gig hard drive, but maybe if mostly what you use it for is the internet and small apps you will not need a bigger hard drive. A lot of apps are becoming web based anyways.

One thing to remember is that you can get some very small externals with some huge storage.

A friend mentioned this to me once. He said you can get small flash drive or small hard drives and run apps right off of them.

NewEgg.com is a GREAT place to buy computer hardware/software online.

Purchased quite a bit from there. Very reliable delivery, good service.

It's the only place I buy computer gear from any more.

I just got the thing dropped off at my house. This is the first website I am visiting. So far, the thing is pretty decent but it is really fricking small and kind of hard to type on. My hands almost feel like they're about to cramp up. The size is truly astonishing, and the 2G surf model seems plenty fast for web surfing. The display is pretty nice as well. So far I have had about one typo per sentence that I have gone back and corrected. It truly is astonishingly small. I think you will be truly amazed when you open it up and are just like wow.

So, are you giving it a thumbs up and recommending it to others?

Too soon to tell. Personally, now that BB routinely has 500 dollar laptops with a dual-core processor and 2GB of ram, I kind of wish I went that route since I don't really need the portability. But, the way this was packaged I could easily return this and get my money back. Nothing was really sealed so that is nice. One thing I do not like so far is that it feels like my hands are starting to cramp up. And my right bicep is starting to ache from having to hold my arms at a weird angle. However, I have not had a single typo in the above paragraph so I am getting better at typing rapidly.

We will have to see what happens with this. The speed and interface is about what I expected, but I did not think it would physically be this tiny. You really can't be the price, though. Especially if you're just looking for something to surf the internet from on the road.
