Also, the keyboard can get very warm at long usage. You might need a cooler pad for more comfortable typing.  

I think it’s a great mobile entertainment unit.

Yes - it’s really user friendly, as even the Linux is doing the job well for those who have been growing up with Windows environment all the time. However, I’ll be deploying Windows XP there, since I’m already used to it!  

I have finally purchased the EEEPc from LYP and I haven’t get to check it out because I have many college stuff to do. Will be playing around with this nifty little thing on this Friday!  

Well, this EEEPc will be worth every cent if you really want an ultra-mobile laptop without blowing a hole in your pocket! If you can, get the 701 before it is being displaced by the newer 901 models which are even more expensive!  

To tell you the truth, I already have an old VAIO (PCG-FR700) given by my cousin, but it’s too damn heavy to be dragged to the college every day. That EEEPc will be simplifying many of my note-taking tasks and quick net surf!

And again, I have to remind those people who want to purchase the EEEPc: This notebook is NOT a permenant replacement for another notebook you have. Don’t just ditch your new C2D laptop because the EEEPc is smaller! That EEEPc will help you in some other way, but it doesn’t help you to do something that your other full-sized laptop can do!

P.S: I don’t think even the kids (or even youngsters) want that laptop so much - they rather go for something where they can pop a DVD in, or the name Centrino, or can play uber graphics games on it… well, that’s what I hear from my pa when his relatives from America told that those kids there want always a faster notebook! And, one of my friends got annoyed by the fact that it couldn’t run Vista that well! LOL!

Wth, I don’t care about Vista or Centrino or whatever. That’s the simplest notebook for me. Just think of Nokia 1112 or any cheap simplistic handphone in the market that can do the job for you!  

for me, I have to think of 101 other (concrete) reasons just to get EEE PC since my mobile computing devices are already settled.

the nice part is that it uses SSD while on the other hand, being SSD - the space is really limited.

But the keyboard is small - I typed the sentence quickly “The quick fox jumped over the brown lazy fox” a few times and fumbled on it in the 1st few sentences. After the remaining one, I managed to adjust my fingers properly on the keyboard.

The keys are probably too small for people who have larger hands, but fortunately, I have quite slender fingers so it will be easier for me. Screen? 7″ is wee bit too small - but I can still see stuff on it pretty well. No complaints for this notebook - and in fact, I enjoyed using it!

The Linux operating system inside is quite easy to use and quite flexible. However, I’ll be deploying XP inside there.

Will purchase that thing maybe next week. I hope it doesn’t get extinct too soon!  

i have mine running on windows xp for a few days…then i changed it back to linux…coz too bored with xp.haha………wanna try linux a bit more

but too bad the RAM is fixed inside and nothing much to upgrade besides the Solid-state storage (just use thumbdrive!)

Hmn… will see about winxp, but is it stripped down winxp?  

@shinjun : i have no idea on the pricing yet.

@Rob O. - i definitely runs Windows XP, i used it today with Windows XP on it.  A friend of mine had Windows XP installed on his Eee PC and it was responsive. of course he upgraded his RAM to 1GB.
