Dunno how many of you carry a laptop for bussiness or class but anyways…

The Asus Eee Pc - netbook…

I got mine 2 weeks ago so after playing around with setting everything up thought I would write a quick review…

OVERALL: Loving it. A quick background, it has a 1.6 GHz intel atom processor, 160 gig SATA HD, 1 gig ram (can put in a second 1 gig stick for 30 bucks), 10 inch screen, 3 USB ports, 2.2 pounds… It is light and small, which makes it easy to carry anywhere your going. Runs windows and office without a problem (can run Linux if you want)… After 2 weeks I find the keyboard more then large enough to type comfortably.

Since purchasing it I have found real reason to lug around my older Dell XPS laptop as it weighs 12.5 pounds and is not much more powerful, so unless I am doing finite element simulations for research the netbook can handle it… The lighter weight and smaller size make taking it places easy so I find myself bringing it along a lot more.

PROS: ultra light, small, powerful enough to do any basic task, and will actually run WoW if you want (suprised me it could do that), is 299 for the computer, or for 320 you get the pc, case and a jump drive.

CONS: Screen is small so you will scroll a lot when viewing some web pages and makes icons kinda small. Battery life is approx 4 hours, so having a second battery or a power cord is advised for longer flights. no dvd rom so loading data from a dvd is a pain (get either a usb external, or nework with a pc that has a dvd player, or load on jump drive)… Like ipods / iphones its a shiny finish so its a finger print magnet…

Sorry its not a better review, after another month or so I’ll post some more thoughts since the newness will have worn off by then.

Let’s hope when they turn Assassins Creed into a movie, they put a little more thought into the cast.

I just got The Watchmen Blu Ray and the director’s cut has 24min of unseen footage. I haven’t seen it yet at all so I hope it was worth the price.

Harold and Kumar was a hit. And that’s a Asian guy and an Arabic guy. That combination never works in cinema or real life.

… he’s not trying to be racist Mr.X he’s just questioning why Indians in general are so offended by Terrorist video game characters.

When me and my friend played CnC:Generals, he’d never play as GLA because of the terrorist + technical boost rush.

Pretty gay to be offended over pixels imo.

Dude, what the hell are you talking about? No one thought he was being racist and my comment was a joke about Hollywood…and what the fuck does any of this have to do Indians being offended by “terrorist video game characters”?

The Prince of Persia is a terrorist?

Who knew.

Very true, I liked that movie (the sequel better)…but you have t6o admit that has to be a first in Hollywood. When have they ever had two minority leads like that using Asian and Indian characters?

Plus, they still threw in Doogie Howser.

The extras has a scene of a someone’s death that I really wish they didn’t cut out of the movie. It would have fit really well in the movie, but I guess they just ran up against the absolute time limit and had to start cutting.
