bruxism Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Asus Eee laptopThis thing looks freakin awesome!! 7 inch screen, weighs 920 grams, and has apple white sexiness. Plus it only costs $500 australian, which is about oh...ten quid i think Anyone else getting one of these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decisive Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 initial coolness aside... what's the point? you might as well have a blackberry or some other pda... or an ipod. seems like it's only good for either between office awkward typing or storing mp3s and videos (and not that many by today's 'standards')- what am i missing?

decisive Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PC ^^just looks a bit generally disappointing really shame- a solid state, stable device such as this would be quite handy as a live music thing i suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruxism Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 i reckon it's super sweet. friends of mine are already running ableton and windows on it, so it's definitely got the live music potential. I'm gonna get one to run midi into from my MPC and trigger visuals using resolume. gonna be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyline Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Yeah I'm interested in these as well, I'd just wanna use it for internet access and download music and videos to transfer to my PSP - just wondering if I could load PSPVideo9 onto it or if I would have to get XP put on... Is there an 8GB version on the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 The new one is supposed to have a 9 inch screen, 8GB, and XP installed as standard. They're announcing the features officially at CES next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruxism Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 will definitely hold out for the new one then. I went and had a play with one and while it is very cool, the keyboard is just a tiny bit cramped. Hopefully having a nine inch screen will fix that problem a little bit.
