First look at the Asus EEE PC

The Asus EEE PC is a UMPC (ultra mobile portable computer) which is small enough to fit in a ladies handbag.

It runs on Linux but its easy to use. Some of the things that you can do is surf the internet, watch streaming videos, internet chat, create and edit documents, record videos, play music and loads of others.

In Singapore, its costs about $600 making this one of the most affordable UMPC in current history.

meh, it doesn't really bother me. i'm no computer expert... in fact i don't know anything about computers really... i just wanted to get a feel of what it would be like to use if you had one. linux isn't very common (well, i haven't seen much of it) in australia i don't think, more windows or apple than anything, so i had noooo idea what it was like. that's all. =]

that's a really good review, i've been looking for a review that would just basically show me what this things does. Because I want a basic laptop, but also want one thats ultimately cool at the same time.. This definately fits the description..

good vid just what i was looking for. i do have 1 question tho... is internet required to use open office?

But still, a review of hardware should be based on hardware, not software. And I don't see how the software really matters anyway since almost all of it is free (as in beer, and speech) and can be easily obtained with any Linux distribution on any hardware.

personally, i liked the way she showed me all the apps. in fact, it's EXACTLY what i've been searching for, lol! this is the only thing i could find and i thought it was great!
