I didn't know about these until yesterday, and now I really want one. I don't use computers for anything but the internet and word processing now anyway, and there are Eee PCs for under $400. I haven't read any negative reviews except for complaints about the small keyboard size, but I'm sure that's easy enough to get used to.

I know that some of you people know much more about computers (etc) than I do, so what I want to know is: are there any major reasons an Eee PC shouldn't be my next electronics purchase?

Actually, the best internet prank is identity theft.

So I guess it was funny when you were dumb enough to click it huh?

If I didn't already have a laptop for rendering *cough* and games *cough* and just needed something simple for writing, photos, and playing media (yay usb), this would work just great. I like the solid state for something like that, as I worry about the platter in my mp3 player. Plus, most of the classic LAN party games will totally play on that off of a USB thumb. :D

Saw one at Circuit City today for $309. It was an Acer and Linex based, which was a down side, but, it looks great for just texting and taking notes.

Ooo. I've been looking for a small laptop with a long battery life. That one seems pretty neat.

I got one.

My old laptop's HD broke.


I paid $316 after taxes.

Everyone's jumping on board. Toshiba and Sony have one out now. It's the bare minimum laptop. I got this one because it has XP; the rest come with Windows Seven Starter; which is a horrible windows program that won't let you do things like open more they three-non Microsoft programs at a time and change your desktop (unless you upgrade for $80).

I have an Acer Aspire One, and I <3 it. It came with Windows, but I deleted that shit right away and installed Ubuntu Netbook.

I've had my Eee900 for some years (about two, I guess?) now, and it does everything I ask it to, mostly because I installed a different OS. It needs a reformat now, though, and I'm thinking of trying out Jolicloud. Just for funs.

I have the 1008HA and it rules with iron fisting.

Except that the trackpad stopped working.



Actually are we just like those fuckwit mac users who stand by their products because of their coolness no matter how shit they may actually be?

Fuck this i'm going out to buy an ipad.

Good question, but I don't think so. Unlike their computers, ours can actually do whatever the fuck we want them to, within the limits of their computing power. And we understand that there are limits, so we use the netbooks for their intended purpose.

Isn't Steve Jobs some sort of nut-occultist with his products?

Ipad, sounds like a feminine product.

The iPad is only meant to lay the groundwork for Jobs' real project, the iDouche.

I can see why Cass wants one.

I must say, my Eee PC is "La Posta". It's the perfect size to travel with and survived the thieving Porteños and survived the two-dozen South-American cities I traveled to.

The netbook or "Mini-laptop" has been discontinued. I can't be seen at Starfucks now with it....srry. :(
