i want an eee-pc NOW! and no it is not "extra creamy" or "extra crunchy"

ASUS produced another toy that makes me feel like a little kid having just one big wish for xmas.

The EEE-PC!

It is a so called sub-notebook. This means that it is incredibly small and weights nearly nothing (about 922gramm)

So now let's look at some facts - in numbers:

• Display: 7''


• Resolution: 800x480


• OS: Xandros Linux


• Chipset: Intel (900Mhz)


• Lan: 10/100


• WLan: 802.11b/g


• Memory: 512 MB (DDR2)


• HDD: None (hehe...)


• SSD: 4GB - (oh yeah! - SOLID STATE DISK ROCKS!)


• Webcam: YES


• Audio: Hi-Definition Audio Stereospeaker


• Microphone-In: YES


• Battery: 4 Cells (5200 mAh)


• Weight: 0.92 kg (that's less than the last Harry Potter book...)
  

Now you might say "OMG! 4GB storage? 512MB memory? Is this a bad joke?"

No.

At this point I have to say that the eee-pc is no Laptop- or PC-alternative. It is a Sub-Notebook designed for mobile usage.

There are some features that should show you what I mean:

• The battery supplies power for over 3 hours! (if you are working and listening to music - without music even longer)


• You can use SD/MMC cards or usb-drives as storage (SD's are cheaper than toiletepaper)


• It is not bigger than a small thin book


• It boots in less than 30 seconds


• because of the solid state disk it is extremly shock-resistant


• the display is a non-glare display (no troubles with sunlight reflecting in your display)


• Skype, OpenOffice, Messenger for (icq, msn, etc...), Organizer, PDF-Viewer, Firefox (with all essentail plugins) and over 40 other applications are allready pre-installed and configured


• apt is pre-installed so you can add every additional software you need very easy

...and because of the apt you can do this (senseless but funny):

Maybe now you know why I want it.

There are several scenarios coming to my mind in which this thing would be my gadget #1

• Holding a presentation (yes there is an output for an additional monitor so you can connect it to a beamer)


• Working on my way to work (by train of course)


• Beeing able to use skype,icq email or what ever while I am sitting in a cafe, in the park or anywhere else! (thanks to HSDPA)


• I can even sort, edit and upload my photos to flickr directly from where I am (even if there is no power plug)

BUT, there is one big problem!

I can't get one!

It is sold out!

Ok I hope to get one in some weeks, but I can't wait for so long!!!

I want it NOW!

Now you have read this and maybe you have allready forgotten about the title saying "no it is not "extra creamy" or "extra crunchy"".

I just want to mention - totally off-topic - that there is a writing on my KitKat that tells me that this one is "extra creamy" and "extra crunchy" and I want to tell you that it is not. It tastes like every othe KitKat i have eaten so far.

So better get back to the real important things.

I want a EEE-PC!

NOW!

thanks for reading....
