Eee, My New Toy!

Pic Of My New Asus Eee Mini-Laptop!. Here is a Wiki link too.

I know that for many of you, cars are your favourite toys. For me a car is a method of transportation. My love is computers! When a friend showed me this baby I knew I had to go out and buy one. For only C$399, it was a real bargain. Here are the specs:

* Display: 7″
* Processor: Intel mobile CPU (Intel 910 chipset, 900MHz Dothan Pentium M)
* Memory: 512MB RAM
* OS: Linux (Asus customized flavor - Dumbed down Xandros)
* Storage: 4GB flash drive - instead of a hard drive (but you can get 8GB)
* Webcam: 300K pixel video camera
* Screen: 800x480 pixels
* Battery life: 3 hours using 4-cell battery
* Weight: 2lbs
* Dimensions: 8.9 in x 6.5 in x 0.82 in - 1.37 in (width x depth x thickness)
* Ports: 3 USB ports, 1 VGA out, SD card reader, modem, Ethernet, headphone out, microphone in

Sadly no bluetooth. Those are 2 AA batteries beside the machine to give you an idea of the size. Combine this with a 4GB SD card and you've got storage for docs, ripped music and movies. I've read that you can load XP on the machine but why would you when you can put Ubuntu on instead! If you are mobile and you need a bit more than a Blackberry then this machine is for you.

No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions you must have been out taking a whizz
