IMHO, the 7 screen is barely usable, and the keyboard does not seem the 7 screen is quite usable, but yes a 9 or a 10 would have been better, I think they went for battery life rather than the screen size. I hear there is a larger screen model on its way. Also think about this - the larger screen will add to the weight too! Right now, an eeepc is easy to throw into a bag and leave it there ( the use case, in this situation, for me are the girls who work in the support department / admin department at one of my clients - they just have the eeepc in their bags and dont even need to carry another laptop bag etc. ) to be built for heavy use. However, for someone who needs a cheap, ultralight laptop, maybe for presentations or as a travel companion, these might be worth their money. Sure, and as I said earlier as well - the EEEpc is great for people who just need a laptop for the sake of a machine. To do things like email ( hey, dont let screen size bother you when it comes to email and internet stuff - the blackberry *crackberry* would not have been that big a hit if was down to screen size ). Here in London - there is now a longer waiting list for the EEEpc than there is for the Apple MacBook Air. That in-itself is a major achievement. Next step, for me, would be a better OS implementation on there. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ 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/

Re: [ilugd] eeepc.in any users here?
they've got a site here: http://www.eeepc.in/ We have our own HCL MiLeap to compete with EEEPC. For roughly similar price, MiLeap gives a conventional 30 GB HDD rather than a 4 GB solid state drive in EEEPC. MiLeap also has a tablet style thing (MiLeap Y) for about 30K. I have not seen either EEEPC or MiLeap myself. I would like to know how good is a 7 screen. It seemed to me that, given the overall size of the body, they could have actually fitted a 10 screen. Also, the resolution seems to be low and will not compensate for the small size. What are your views?
