Asus Eee Pc a little Gem
I was frantically looking just before Christmas trying to find myself a present, from me, well I deserve it. The Eee Pc caught my eye, the only problem was everywhere I usually look was waiting for stock, at first I waited for the due dates, but they never came. In desperation I typed it into Google. I found a few available from Korea but they had English/Chinese keyboards which I thought might be too much to look at on a keyboard that was already tiny. However I couldn't believe that PCWorld of all places had them in stock, all be it the 2 GB Version but it was the cheapest I’d seen at £199.99.
From the beginning I was expecting great things from this machine and as of yet it hasn’t disappointed. The OS is really easy to use, I would go as far to say easier to use than Windows (for average user). Average home users or children would struggle to cause damage to the OS by mistake which is an extremely common occurrence with windows. The network functionality is excellent and browsing speeds are extremely good even with the 900 MHz Celeron Processor. The only real draw back is the small disk size, though im sure with investment in flash drives due to this model from not only Asus but other key manufacturers will see an increase in disk size and a decrease in cost. The way in which I have combated the disk space however is to purchase an SD card of 8gb for around £30-40 from Ebuyer works a treat.
All in all this Machine is excellent and a steal for the price and I cant wait to see the future models.
