my new Asus EeePC
After a long weekend of waiting, my Asus EeePC 701 has arrived! I was at work and I had a small crowd around me the moment it came in the door. Everyone there said "wow, its smaller than I thought!" and I had to agree, sorta. But I kinda knew how small it would be since I've been following this for a long time, and waiting for a similar device for *years* now (really).
My initial impressions are great. It is lightweight, fits in my small malebag, has a 6ft (?) power cord with a celephone-sized charger, does indeed have a 3.5+ hr battery life, and a great clear screen.
Some of the drawbacks are obvious before even trying it out: small keyboard; 800-px wide screen makes for some scrolling on larger-layout webpages; um that's it so far.
