Eee PC
January 8th, 2008
Been looking at the Eee PC recently - at £220 it seems to be a bargain for a ultra portable laptop. I have decent desktops at work and home, so just want a light, wireless laptop for round the house and possibly any travel. The Eee PC looks to cover this - 3 USB2 ports and a SD Reader mean I can get my photos off SD cards and onto a hard drive (usually my 160Gb Ipod). It should have enough horsepower for the GIMP and with a small bluetooth adaptor I would be able to go online via GPRS. Sounds good eh?
However, I still don’t like the look of the 7″ screen. Today, news broke that a new version that should ship April ‘08 will have 7″, 8″ or 8.9″ screens :-). Looks like I will be waiting for that or maybe picking up an original off eBay when all the cool kids upgrade….

The 7″ screen is good for the resolution - I think if they increased the resolution on the 7″ or 8″ text would be a little too small to read.
Very happy with mine.
