And the Lord said... "Let there be Eee!"
So I have this magical little device, a little notebook with a pearly sheen, a gorgeous little eee PC. Asus has decided to create a laptop that really is the smallest, barest of bare. But it's so cute! It is also a feisty little thing, and packs a lot more punch than you'd expect. It can run games like Black & White 2, Half life... I'm a simple computer-user, spending my connected time mostly just surfing the web, doing homework, messaging and playing stupid nonsense games like Peggle and Bookworm. So really, this thing is perfect for me.
If you'd like some idea of how small this thing really is, take a piece of standard printer paper... now fold it in half. There you have a closed Eee. It's so small I can fit it in my purse. And yet, despite its small size, it is remarkably easy to use. I'm typing this entry with it right now and it's a breeze. The small keyboard isn't even a problem because I'm a speedy hen-pecker anyhow.
Isn't it cuteee? It makes me just want to say "eee" enthusiastically forever.
AND, it comes with Linux instead of Windows or Mac... Which means it's even more incredible. It's freakin' open source. EEE! Awesome.
I'm going to go fiddle around with more functions now... EEEEEE!

how much are those? i might be looking into a new computer next year.
This was the better of the two versions, with webcam and more general oomph... it costs $399. The less awesome ones are 299 or 349, and they come in more colours but no webcams or oomph. You can get them (in Canada) at the Source, or online.
It's also relatively easy to install windows or prettier more functional versions of linux on to them. Mine has "eeeXubuntu" right now, with a nifty system called "Compiz Fusion" installed as well. It's very pretty and moves a bit like a mac, a bit like vista, but with more snazz.
Thank you, that was just an awesome post!!!
