X-mas = new eee PC
I just got to open my new eee PC 900A that Santa Claus got me for Christmas. This thing is awsome. It retails for $279.99 at BestBuy (you missed the deal!) in white with other colors available online.
Obviously it is not a beefy computer. The included minimal linux operating system is really just a glorified PDA. However, you can install whatever distro you like. I have Backtrack3 on an SD card that I can boot up for security testing.
The built-in wireless has much better range than our iMac. It also includes 3 USB ports, SD Reader, VGA video out, ethernet and headphone/microphone jacks.
The keyboard is small. Very small. After about 30 minuts playing with it I was able to get pretty good at typing. That is the price you have to pay to fit a laptop in a (small) women’s purse. Oh, and the computer is ready to go in like 25 seconds from boot. Impressive.
This post was typed from my new eee PC.
