the Eee PC

Posted in gear, neat hacks, software by Donald on the May 13th, 2008

If you want a super-light laptop, you have to pay for it, and you have to use Windows. That’s been the (frustrating) conventional wisdom—at least until late last year, when the Taiwanese company Asus rolled out the Eee PC (pronounced as though it were a single long “e”), a two-pound, seven-inch laptop starting at a mere $300. The tradeoff: It comes with just two to eight gigabytes of flash memory instead of a conventional, larger hard drive, and a simplified Linux operating system that essentially is usable only for e-mail, Web browsing and typing.

<edit> forgot to mention that Logicpass is advertising it on Bay Radio (2Gb Model €385 (€323.40 with Government subsidy) weighs in less than 1Kg :P
