tho i dunno, i think i'll be happy with it for a pretty good rate of depreciation. I coulda spent 100 less and gotten a Kindle, lol.

Considering an EEEPC 9inch...any experience with it to share? - The Earth Ghost 2008-08-12 11:30:02 (42 views)

heh, I just got one delivered today - it's totally cute! got the 901 / Linux / 1 gb RAM version - absoludicrous 2008-08-12 22:00:24 (31 views)

Is it fast? I leaning towards the Windows Version. - The Earth Ghost 2008-08-13 00:43:32 (13 views)

I just did this keyboard remap. the up arrow where the shift usually is was killing me. - jtown 2008-08-12 22:34:51 (69 views)

i was unclear - i did go straight to 2gb - just popped the card in - thanks for the key mapping link - absoludicrous 2008-08-12 23:06:29 (25 views)

oh does the 901 have a second slot for memory? the 701 only has one. - jtown 2008-08-13 00:37:57 (22 views)

i just replaced the 1gb with a 2 - no 2nd slot. I need to update the xandros kernel to recognize it - absoludicrous 2008-08-13 01:05:24 (16 views)

funny - i just bought one from a coworker as a laptop to have in a pinch. - jtown 2008-08-12 21:18:48 (36 views)

I'm leaning towards the 9inch. My biggest worry: Will it be fast enought w/ Windows on it (or OSX)? - The Earth Ghost 2008-08-13 00:48:16 (14 views)

with enough RAM I'm sure. depends on what you really need app-wise. - jtown 2008-08-13 01:02:11 (16 views)

what is it pricey compared to? all the micro pcs from other companies ive seen - fanofnothing 2008-08-12 23:48:37 (18 views)

figure Eees have a pretty decent resale value, so you could always get ~200 back from the *nix crowd - jtown 2008-08-13 09:39:49 (18 views)
