Just got hold of one, after waiting for about 2 weeks from PC world, thought of sharing some experiences with you.
System config ASUS eee PC 900 RAM 1GB Disk 20 GB SSD processor 800Mhz celeron Xandros Linux First some of good noticeable features 1. booting is very fast, by the time you plug the power, system is up, absolutely no wait time or gazing at cryptic boot messages 2. IO is very fast; e,g copying from SD mem to disk or vice a versa , just took out SD card from my digicam & inserted, it immediately opened photo manager 3. hybernating works perfectly, just click & done, for waking upjust press any key, instantly you would see OS ready 4. Skype with video works perfectly 5. Set of applications provided are mozilla firefox, mozilla thunderbird email client, Open office 2.0, acrobat reader, pidgin 2.0, dictionary, printing system/drivers, voice command – well you can call certain commands by voice e.g “computer movie” to play built in movie player etc 6. Speaker, mike works good with reasonable pitch 7. Wirelss detects nearby clouds good but still need to test 8. less weight, very handy & somewhat attractive Flip sides 1. keyboard size is very small, one would require practice but should be manageable after some time 2. Its a good laptop on the move with any flavour of linux, so far tried, Ubuntu though, but I think not suitable for serious office work. 3. You would not find any command line terminal, no xterm 4. display max at 1024x600 5. Memory 1GB , SSD disk 20GB is OK, but some more justice should have been done with processor which sometimes appear as busy Finally i have decided to put Ubuntu as the main OS on it and will live with it any way at home ;) Regards Yash _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
