Asus Eee PC 8G

I will be writing similar if not identical reviews for all eepc models, not in an attempt to make money from reviews (though after a break into my car i do need more money lol) but because all models function similarly and being an extensive linux user and proud owner of an eepc I think I can offer a lot of tips to viewers. If you want further advice feel free to contact me. Note*skip to unlock full mode subheading to find out how you can change the interface to look like windows.

Well, what can be said about the EEE-PC? This revolutionary technology has changed the way we can browse the internet whilst on the move. As a Computer Scientist, I thought this would be ideal to take to lectures and act as a replacement for a normal laptop whilst I was in lectures. I wasn't disappointed. After first powering up the machine I was surprised how fast the boot time was partly due to the low requirements of the custom built Linux OS. I was also impressed at the size of the machine which looked very small in the palm of my hand. There are however, many drawbacks with the EEE which soon made me disgard my rose-tinted spectacles.
