Have Laptop Will Travel

Finally, after badgering computer stores and even online retailers, I got my hands on an ASUS EEE ultraportable laptop. It’s the best purchase I’ve made in the last two years, even beating my purchase of a Nintendo Wii just a couple of months ago.

I just love how light it is. It is relatively feather light compared to my very heavy Acer laptop. It’s so small that I can actually use an old leather organizer I have and use it as a cover for the EEE. It actually looks like I only carry a planner when I’m out. It’s that small and light.

The Xandros OS is something that I have to really get used to. I still don’t even know how to install programs or even format a USB drive. But as a handy workaround, I’ve also installed Windows XP using an 8GB SDHC card, which means I can dual boot between Xandros and WinXP whenever I want to. Who would think that a machine as small as this one with slightly compromised specs would be such a robust performer?

I am now saving up so I can buy my wife the green EEE that she wants for her birthday. At the rate things are going I might even buy my three year old son an EEE just to give him an early taste of technology and how to love it.
