[R4Zy3L]

Why do they think that smaller means better? I like laptops with huge screens to see what I write and do :-S

[tasosrena]

[luampa]

parpado

[bugzzrabbit]

how put windows on that? nice vid

[fronio88]

gos great with my ws320m olympus along with a

16g memory chip,I'm in.............

[rockyreece]

can you put discs in it and how long is its battery life

[darealb1gd]

no u cant but i think u can add a hard drive system via usb and u can have fun in the internet with wireless lan upto 4 hours

[puddinhead99]

mine has a 3.5 hour battery on average. the surf version only has a 2.8 hour battery. why? i dont know. but its still flippin sweet!

[outpostarc]

but you can get a external c.d. drive the ssd (solid state hard drive no moving parts ) hard drive is only 4 gigs too but you can get a 16 gig memory chip

[outpostarc]

yes you can get windows on it but you have to do it yourself.... and it does not have a cd-rom drive

[mph2k7]

i am buying a new laptop and i was just wondering is this just a smaller version of a normal laptop and how would u get windows on it pls help

[REWINDLABS7]

my r3000 compaq topped a dubiously bad boot of almost a min 30 seconds after installing Dark XP v.3 my boot time is roughly high at 20 seconds i wonder what my sexy xp can do to this baby i cant wait HL1 here i come muahahhaha roms roms more roms RAWR suck it psp

[zatodragon]

This is by far one of the coolest laptops.

[radicalGOD]

thanx for this preview...very helpful

[TutorialGuru]

able to play runescape on it?

[Charles2337]

Yeah.

[IndeviousEmo]

Umm i have one of these and its pretty gay as you cant install flash player on it adobe to play shockwave games or go on habbo hotel and you cant install ya own programs on it like limewire and shit so its pretty basic ans useless.

[TutorialGuru]

thanks for the tip, i wont waste my time buying one then.

[giddyk0ng]

this person is most likely misinformed about the operating system on this notebook it cannot install windows applications however it runs its own distro of Linux which has alternate versions of programs designed for it. you can install flash player on the Linux version of firefox and also can install java if im not mistaken

[TutorialGuru]

well the only thing i really want it for it going on holiday and uploading videos to youtube and streaming them maybe install some games if it can handel it? also any idea if it works with VODEM?

[zatodragon]

Just upgrade to XP and then you can play Habbo Hotel.

[qsens]

you can install anything on it..

if you want free OS and free softwares let it as it is or install another Linux distro.

if you feel better on a Windows system, install Windows XP on it. It works really smooth.

it's a PC.. everything is possible..

[666TheStig]

hmmm

[xmvsf]

can you run a game in the eee? i mean what game can you install on it

[IndeviousEmo]

If you want to install ya wn things on it and play shockwave games, this laptop well this kids toy isnt for you, as if you want to play flash games and runescape or WOW or anything like that you need to go to the trouble and install windows on it lol which is confusing to do. pretty useless pc/

[xmvsf]

obviously with xp installed,well i was asking cuz i did not know the graphic chip memory

but probably support hl1.

[skyspam]

Flash games run fine on linux. Wow also runs smooth through WINE. The only thing linux doesn't have is shockwave, but that's not linux's fault, but the fault of adobe and microsoft.

[aprilsoprano321]

how did you get windows XP on it??

[ecf1691]

you can plug it to a bigger screen

[fermixx]

this is freaking beautiful!

can you plug the laptop to a bigger monitor / screen?

se puede enchufar la portatil a un monitor mas grande?

gracias / thx

[RKTheDragon]

I don't think so !

[W0lframit3]

yes you can. It has a vga output. It doesent do 1920x1200 though.

[ipodguru22]

what version of linux are u running at 0:51?

[thevideobox]

Its Kubuntu, pretty much the same as Ubuntu only a bit different1

[ipodguru22]

thanks!

[historywillabsolve]

wait for version 2

[epyonx1]

wow. that's some seriously gay background music..

[Schakal745]

you re gay!

[ipodguru22]

obviously you are if you liek that music...

[mpontheair]

Stop ripping on people from Uruguay!

[ipodguru22]

And how was i supposed to know u were from Uruguay?! bitch

[mpontheair]

I was responding to Schakal745. There was an episode from the Simpsons where Homer mispronounces "Uruguay" as "You are gay."

Sorry if that went over your head, but that wasn't meant for you.

[ipodguru22]

oh ok srry 4 callin u a bitch lol

[biocrap21]

so I just heard about this thing a day ago and wanted to ask if the internet is pretty fast? also, I'm just someone who really likes to go on the internet a lot so do you think it would be worth it for me to buy it just for that?

[lukich1014]

HI,Having discovered this laptop,i immediately fell in love with it.However i am in debate whether to buy this or the ipod touch.Also What is the method for installing XP? thanks

[GGboy1987]

windows if superior to linux if you know how to use it right and keep it unbloated/spywar'd

[smurfkarl]

so, among other things, you find the file search facilities in windows quick and comfortable? I do not ..

[BlueNC79]

Great laptop but the music makes me vomit.

[muscalu]

me too :)

[zabitken]

Love the song !

[moxander]

Does this come with a cd and dvd reader??

[TeeJokey]

No, there is no optical device but you can always use external storage devices.

[dinasu]

you couldn't find a more irritating song?

[cartopusha]

[enyceckk101]

[videotut]

[ruhtraeel]

Was that guy running xp?

[TeeJokey]

Yes, Windows XP Pro. In the other video in this channel you'll see it with its original OS.

[Scythehalotrial]

[x1987x]

[TeeJokey]

Nuevo video sobre el Eee subido a este canal. Y un artículo completo en Español en nuestra página web.

---------------------------

New video about Eee uploaded to this channel. And a full article in english in our website.

[bluetrumpetist]

this laptop rules! i just can't wait for it to come out in italy...the bad news is that italian wifi connection is crappy all trhough the country (lol) you guys will enjoy it better.

[Loubard]

Nice video! I am going to wait untill the 1001 comes out, but this is still a nice laptop.

The music is made with sofware called EjaY, I recognise the tune from when I tried that software XD

[Manetty6]

good stuff, shit music :D

[keynesian]

how do you install windows XP and related drivers?

[TeeJokey]

Well, it is an Intel based system not very different from other laptops, there was no need of any drivers to make it work through Windows XP.

[HugoVentilDeHasak]

What about SSD? Can I change it 4 bigger one?

[TeeJokey]

There are rumors that talk about different configurations, with different SSD but there is still no official information.

I would say no cause it goes with the motherboard. But who knows, is still too soon. Of course you'll always be able to use pen drives.

[rliuLY]

i see that it's running windows :)

[TeeJokey]

Yeah, the Eee is Windows Capable. Runs XP perfectly.

[rliuLY]

but wouldn't be a bit slow?

cuz it's only Pentium M with 512mb ram.

plus 8 gb HD.

so.. i dunno

[TeeJokey]

It doesn't take more than 30 seconds to load Windows XP Pro.

It's quite fast for being that small.

The final specs are not confirmed yet.

[rliuLY]

I'm so looking forward on getting one =)

[TeeJokey]

Trabajando ahora con el Eee 701 RC1, que viene con Linux Eee 1.0. Subiremos un vídeo y publicaremos una noticia al respecto en pocos días.

------------------------------­--------

[vraddrag]

[freyperico]

Como mola el cacharrillo, estoy ansioso. ¿Alguien tiene mas datos?

Buen trabajo el vídeo, impresionante la velocidad de carga del Windows XP para ser tan pequeño.

Se comenta por ahí que vais a poner más vídeos pronto, no me puedo esperar, que envidiaaaaa.

[jeldama]

[TeeJokey]

Yo quiero dos, donde se coje el tiquet? XDD

Pues corren rumores de que costará de 200 a 400 euros o por ahí. Peazo precio.

Saludos.

[Solopro666]
