Only just 20 minutes ago I found out more information regarding the Eee PC and I thought I would share it out as well to get it out there to be better advertised so that many more users will be more aware of it.

The Eee PC is a ultra portable laptop/notebook. It is basically in between a Palm PC and a portable laptop/notebook which is priced at around £170. NOT BAD! Anyway. here are a few pictures taken off some sites that reviewed it and I’ll let you read about it all you want!

While it is very tempting to get one, I will wait until at least the second or third generation to come out before I will be thinking about buying one. I am hoping that those generations will have a larger screen, bigger (FLASH) disk space, faster processor and a bit more RAM. And on top of that they would’ve learned from the mistakes of the previous generations to improve on the newer ones. It could well be a good 2008 after all!

Apparently to keep the cost of the Eee PC down ASUS have not bundled it with Windows XP (though a version with XP has been announced) and that at the moment the versions of the laptop which are being reviewed have a resolution of around 800×480… Now that’s a lot of scrolling! Also another disadvantage for me at the moment is that it comes with 4GB flash disk storage and apparently the OS that comes installed on it takes around 3GB of that space.

So I don’t know if ASUS are making the users buy external storage devices or maybe they will up the storage on later generations. I know for sure that I wouldn’t want to have a laptop and then carry around with me a spare battery, an external hard disk and other various shit to get my laptop to work. It is either portable (and usable) for a couple of hours or it isn’t and also be able to store data which you use often such as music and pictures. (Obviously torrent and such are out of the question)
