  | ASUS Eeepc...I'm a dirty poor student and thinking about picking up one of these lovelys after messing with my friends the other day... You can get a 701 off ebay for around £130 and id prob slap a 2gb of RAM in for good measure along with a '3' mobile internet dongle for train journeys etc with some other mods in mind too. Anybody own and use one of these? Would it be better for me saving up for a 900-901? As the 701 is quite old now. Cheers. |

| Re: ASUS Eeepc...The school I worked in had some of these, although they were called the Asus miniBook for education. Same item though. I couldn't rate them highly enough for things like word processing etc. They run Linux and open office, so can easily take it to a "big computer" and print off what you have done! I was and still am tempted to get one! http://www.rm.com/Secondary/Products...cref=PD1030046 |

| Re: ASUS Eeepc...I just built a gaming beast for Uni, and I'm really considering going into my Student Overdraft to get myself an Eee PC 901.. but I'm going to wait because there's a new 1000H that's just come out and there may be more EEE's in the future with better battery life. |

- capitalize each word? - Say to fit your individual personality? How can a mass-produced product fit your individual personality? Do they look at us as kettle? I could go on like this for at least half an hour, it is so sad, that such a great brand as ASUS (I used to be a big fan boy) tries to save money by using cheap staff... The result as we can all see is quite pathetic... Oh well.. 95% of the population are kettle anyway, they won't notice, so I guess it's ok... | |

| Re: ASUS Eeepc...I'm more tempted by a slightly larger UMPC, like the Medion Akoya Mini (rebranded MSI wind if anyone knows anything about them). Available at sainsburys which is good since i get a discount, £299 though! Even with the discount its a bit steep! Good spec and looks very nice too - Medion's Akoya Mini laptop gets pictured at Computex - Engadget |

| Re: ASUS Eeepc...If it sticks the Atom Processor running at 1.6Ghz, then it'll be pretty good competition! Problem with mechanical hard drives though are if you drop it, your data is screwed! |

 | Re: ASUS Eeepc...Amazon.co.uk: Eee PC 1000 ^ Why are all the Eee PC 1000s pre-order only on Amazon? Are they the new ones, I take it? |
