Re: asus eee

I bet that 32GB pendrive costs more than the machine itself

Mine should arrive tomorrow. I bought it because I'll be making a series of short trips in the coming month and want to be able to sort out bookings/emails and such, without resorting to the use of a public PC (for security reasons). I do not have a smartphone because I found out after using one for a few years that I do not need to have mini-computer in my pocket on a daily basis. For longer trips where I will need to write reports, or want the occasional games, I reckon that a more powerful PC is still more appropriate.

I'd be tempted to upgrade the RAM to 1GB if it does use standard cheap DDR2, but I reckon that I will not be using anything that would require that much memory without stressing the CPU. Speaking of CPU, I read that the next revision will be using Merom processors, which will drop the energy consumption by a few watts. Not sure how significant it will be in the grand scheme of things, but I would actually value that more than a larger screen/more storage for something like this.
