The little laptop that could -- do just about anything the big boys can
I've never been terribly cutting edge when it comes to my own personal electronics.
Our TV is old school. We use a rotary telephone in the kitchen.
But the little laptop computer I bought recently turned heads at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas last month.
It felt a bit like pulling into the parking lot of a big auto show in a DeLorean. Or walking into a nightclub wearing the latest Stella McCartney.
People, my gear was cool.
In fact, my white Asus Eee PC was so state-of-the-art it was mentioned not once, but twice, in the official opening press conference as a hot new tech item displayed at the giant convention. Later, a tech reporter saw me working in the press room and came over to ask questions for an article he was writing about the low-cost, lightweight machines.
Often called a subnotebook or ultraportable, this latest generation of laptop PCs is making waves.
