Whee, it’s the Asus EEE PC!

Sometimes, even the most portable of laptops just don’t cut it – like when you’re looking to carry a less expensive laptop to a crazier environment (could be somewhere like school). Emphasis on the less expensive part of that sentence – sometimes, you don’t want to risk that laptop worth more than a grand. Well, Asus’ EEE PC certainly won’t break that budget barrier, and it’s a lot smaller than most laptops today.

Deemed ultraportable, the EEE PC (Easy to work, easy to play and easy to work), the idea of such a device really appeals to me. Having enjoyed using PDA’s as a child, I realize that such a transportable computer would be exponentially fun to work with. Also, if you run into a thief or your EEE PC gets mysteriously smashed to bits (as it could happen in the public), the EEE PC will be significantly less expensive to replace.

Retailing for no less than $299 CDN for the basic model featuring 256mb of ram, an Intel Celeron processor, and 2gb of storage, the EEE PC 2G Surf is aptly named – after the installing of an operating system on the EEE PC, you’re hardly going to have space or resources to do anything other than surf the internet. Alas, if you’re planning to do more than that, there are other models that might tickle your fancy, which you can examine over at Wikipedia.

The EEE PC certainly would be a worthy investment – as a matter of fact, I’m planning to invest in one for my education (would be a Godsend for taking a load of notes in a long class – or browsing the web when the class turns sour). Alas, you might have trouble finding one for now (check retailers in a few weeks – they also might make great Christmas presents, especially for your favourite blogger).
